	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2016 answer text <p>In the UK, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) operates only in London and the South East. The FCO offered apprenticeships for the first time in 2015. Given the sensitivity of FCO work, we are only able to offer a limited number of apprenticeships. We offered fewer than ten apprenticeships in this first year, and are therefore unable to confirm the precise numbers or locations since this might enable individual identities to be revealed. Due to the small numbers, we are also unable to confirm the number remaining in a job in the Civil Service. We are currently in the process of recruiting twenty three apprentices, the majority of whom will be offered a position in Milton Keynes (South East) and the rest in London.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 04/11/2016 14:33:33 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
