<p>We are unable to breakdown the region that each and every one of our Ambassadors
and High Commissioners was born in without incurring disproportionate costs. We are
able to breakdown by the constituent country within the UK as follows:</p><p>Male
Female<br>England 80 22<br>Scotland 5 1<br>Wales 3 0<br>Northern Ireland 1 0<br>Born
outside the UK or not recorded on file 29 7</p><p>There is also one post where the
Ambassador's role is shared by one male and one female, both from England.</p><p>The
key principle of all FCO appointments is selection by merit through fair and open
competition. Place of birth has no effect on our appointments system. All UK based
members of staff have to be British citizens.</p>
