The Foreign and Commonwealth Office would like to correct the Written Answers given to Baroness Helic on 4 November 2015 [HL2981] and 24 November 2015 [HL3595]. The questions asked about the cost to the public purse of supporting the Office of the Quartet Representative in each of the last eight financial years, and the grades of the FCO staff seconded to the Office of the Quartet Representative from 2007 to 2013.
The answers provided omitted a Grade 7 equivalent officer who was seconded during this period, and contained errors in some dates. The corrected information is as follows:
The FCO provided the following members of staff to the Office of the Quartet Representative from 2007-2013: one Senior Civil Servant from July 2007 until April 2010; one Grade 6 equivalent from March 2010 to June 2013; one Grade 7 equivalent from July 2007 to August 2009; one HEO equivalent from August 2007 to August 2010; one EO equivalent from September 2010 to August 2012; and one AO equivalent from September 2012 until June 2013.
