Hugh's statistics appear highly selective. Perhaps staff levels have declined in many Embassies. Perhaps restoring the numbers to previous levels may be the answer.
I realise staff INCREASES is probably an outrageous suggestion when annual reductions in Public Service staff levels (with inevitably extravagant spending on contractors) is a politised certainty for an aspirant to the Defence Department Secretaryship.
