The Defence Personnel (DP) Division was set up in April 1938. It dealt with: pay, pensions, conditions of service and complementing for the armed forces and the defence and associated departments: Admiralty, Air Ministry, War Office, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Supply, Atomic Energy Authority, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Royal Observatories, Government Chemist, and Office of the Minister of Science;all questions on manning, structure, recruitment and conditions of service for the Armed Forces in consultation with the appropriate Establishment Division;allowances and conditions of service of locally engaged staff and United Kingdom based civilian staff abroad for all government departments, except Foreign Office and Commonwealth Relations Office, and excluding military attaches, specialist service attaches, and trade commissioners, which were dealt with by the Imperial (or Commonwealth) and Foreign Division.
When the Treasury was reorganised in 1962, the DP Division became the Defence and Overseas Personnel (DOP) Division, taking over conditions of service and allowances for all locally engaged staff and civil servants working overseas from Commonwealth and Foreign Division, including some Foreign Office questions.
