Select Committee on Foreign Affairs Written Evidence


FCO STAKEHOLDER SURVEY

Letter to the Chairman of the Committee from the Permanent Under Secretary of State,

Foreign and Commonwealth Office, dated 26 June 2006

Dear Chairman,

  I am writing to thank you for taking the time to participate in the FCO's current survey of our key stakeholders. We have yet to receive the final report. But I am enclosing a draft copy[3], since I wanted to share the findings with you and the Committee at an early stage, not least since I may want to refer to the survey results when I give evidence to the Committee on 28 June. We will, of course, provide both your Committee and the House Library with copies of the final report as soon as it is available. We expect this to be within the next few weeks. Until then I should be grateful if you would respect its status as a draft.

  I am glad to see the positive feedback on our performance. But there is also a clear message that we could do better still. My early judgement is that we will want to accept all the action points set out in the report, and that doing so will put us in an even stronger position to play our role effectively. We have recently appointed a Stakeholder Manager who will help us to take forward work in this area and ensure that we follow up the points that have emerged.

Yours sincerely,

Sir Michael Jay KCMG

Permanent Under Secretary of State

Foreign and Commonwealth Office
