  Foreign and Commonwealth Office - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office, more commonly known as the Foreign Office (or the FCO), is the United Kingdom government department responsible for promoting the interests of the United Kingdom abroad.
The head of the FCO is the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, which is commonly abbreviated to Foreign Secretary.
The FCO was formed in 1968 out of the merger of the short-lived Commonwealth Office and the Foreign Office, the Commonwealth Office having been formed only in 1966 by the merger of the Commonwealth Relations Office and the Colonial Office.

 FCO 30/1048
Meanwhile it will continue to be important to stress the potential gains in real international influence (albeit indirect) through participation in the Community's policies and to contrast this with the highly formal and technical nature of the "sovereignty" that will be eroded.
The conclusions and implications we have drawn are highly political said may be judged beyond the competence of the FCO to advise.
Nevertheless the impact of entry upon sovereignty is closely related to the blurring of distinctions between domestic political and foreign affairs, to the relatively greater political responsibility of the bureaucracy of the Community and the lack of effective democratic control.
