The administrative budgets for each embassy are provided in the table below. These budgets are considered to be the locally-devolved administrative (day-to-day) budget including local staff salaries but not salaries of diplomatic staff, which are a charge on the Headquarters budget. Likewise, my Department's capital budget is not allocated to missions on an ongoing basis but is managed from Headquarters. The budgets for 2012 have not yet been finalised.
