answer text <p>​Communication is core to diplomacy and is a component of many roles in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO): it is therefore not possible to specify the exact number of staff who have a communications remit.</p><p>The FCO's central Communication Directorate had 88 staff on its UK based headcount as of 31 January 2017.</p><p>The Communication Directorate consists of four departments: a Media Office, a Campaigns and Engagement Department, a Digital Transformation Unit and a Counter Daesh Communications Department. Collectively they have responsibility for a range of activities to achieve the FCO's priorities of protecting our national security, generating economic growth and helping British people overseas. These include increasing Britain's influence in the world through sponsoring the British Council and the Marshall and Chevening Scholarships schemes, promoting trade and investment with the UK through activities on the GREAT Britain campaign and providing travel advice so British people can keep themselves safe when overseas.</p><p>Salary costs for the Communication Directorate from 2009/10 to 2015/16 inclusive were as follows:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Salary costs</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015/16</p></td><td><p>£3,025,594</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014/15</p></td><td><p>£3,243,852</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013/14</p></td><td><p>£2,801,066</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012/13</p></td><td><p>£2,498,697</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011/12</p></td><td><p>£3,070,242</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010/11</p></td><td><p>£3,552,733</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009/10</p></td><td><p>£3,593,416</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p>Our management information system does not allow us to go back further than 2009/10. Sourcing equivalent data for the years 2006/7 – 2008/9 inclusive is therefore not available except at disproportionate cost.</p>

answer text <p>The Ministry of Justice (MOJ ) works to protect the public, reduce reoffending and provide a more effective, transparent and responsive criminal justice system. It is vital that this work is communicated.</p><p> </p><p>The communication section of the Communications and Information Directorate (CID) at MOJ Head Office currently has 45 staff employed in media relations and communications roles, including 30 staff in the MOJ press office.</p><p> </p><p>The MOJ press office operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and deals with all national, regional and specialist media enquiries for the department and its agencies including the National Offender Management Service (NOMS), Legal Aid Agency (LAA) and Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunal Service (HMCTS).</p><p> </p><p>Other communications roles in CID include campaigns officers, planning, digital, speechwriting and internal communications staff.</p><p> </p><p>The breakdown of information requested on salaries and staff number of such staff members in each of the last ten years is not held centrally and compiling this information would incur a disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p>
