Foreign Office

 
     
  The British department of state responsible from its establishment in 1782 until 1968 for the execution (except in relation to members of the Commonwealth) of the country\'s foreign policy. Thereafter this responsibility across the whole foreign spectrum lay with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Prior to 1919-20 the members of the Foreign Office served only in London, Britain\'s diplomatic posts abroad being staffed by members of the separate Diplomatic Service. See also external affairs, ministry of.
