Our directorates
The Permanent Under-Secretary (PUS) has overall responsibility for managing the FCO’s resources and for policy advice given to ministers. This work is shared between the eight members of the FCO Board.
Each has an area of responsibility with the exception of the Chief Executive, UK Trade & Investment (UKTI), and the Chief Information Officer. UKTI is a joint department and the Information Directorate is part of Central Group, which is the responsibility of the PUS.
