British Council

 
     
  Founded in 1934, the British Council is Britain\'s principal vehicle of cultural diplomacy. It has always been permitted a degree of autonomy from government to maximize its credibility abroad, and is described officially as ‘an independent Non-Departmental Public Body’. Nevertheless, no secret is made of the fact that it receives a substantial ‘grant-in-aid’ from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and that its priorities and objectives are set in close consultation with it.
