Since 2010 the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has increased from 43 to 56 the number of Russian speakers posted to Russia and the former Soviet Union. Full language training is given to all FCO officers who require it for their postings.<\/p>

<\/p>

We have also launched an Eastern Europe and Central Asia cadre of experts in March of this year \u2013 already counting 400 members \u2013 designed to pool experience and underpin a first class foreign policy towards Russia and the region.<\/p>

<\/p>

We have also re-opened the FCO Language School that had been closed down in 2007.<\/p>

<\/p>

Although we have recruited no Russian speakers since March 2015, we expect three Russian speakers to join the FCO later this year.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3474", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Anelay of St Johns"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-06-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-06-17T14:18:06.39Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-06-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office: Recruitment"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government what steps they are taking to recruit Russian experts to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office; and how many fluent Russian speakers have been recruited since March 2015.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/259", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for The Marquess of Lothian"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "The Marquess of Lothian"} ], "uin" : "HL353"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/61935", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/61935/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
