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
