There is no formal bar to the employment of homosexuals
cel the Fic : in the DS/FCO. But the DS is a fully PV'd Service
Present security rules take the view that homosexuality
raises a presumption of unfitness for employment in posts
requiring PV or NV clearance. So without PV clearance
there are virtually no career prospects within the DS/
FCO. Those revealed to be homosexual during their
probationary period are therefore advised to transfer to
the Home Civil Service where there are opportunities for a
normal career without PV clearance. Where officers are
revealed later in their careers to be homosexual, they are
similarly advised of the severe limitation which this
places on their career prospects and are encouraged to
transfer to the Home Civil Service.
