INDIA OFFICE HISTORY from
http://www.fco.gov.uk/servlet/Front?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/ShowPage&c=Page&cid=1007029395879

The Secretary of State for War had been awarded formal responsibility for colonial matters in 1801, and it was only in 1854 that a new Principal Secretary of State was created and a separate Colonial Office emerged. Responsibility for Indian affairs passed from the East India Company and the Indian Board of Control to the new India Office in 1858. By the late 1860s the staff of the Foreign Office had grown to about sixty and there were five embassies and nineteen legations overseas.

1839 - Foreign Office and Colonial Office buildings condemned as unfit and unsafe by Report from Select Committee on Public Offices.

1854 - Colonial Office separately constituted, when all remaining military business hived off.

1856 - Introduction of a qualifying examination for FO and Diplomatic Service. Announcement of Open Competition for new offices on site between Parliament Street and St James's Park.

1858 - George Gilbert Scott appointed architect of new Foreign Office but Lord Palmerston objects to his Gothic design and an Italian Palladian style prevails. India Office created and occupies old East India House in Leadenhall Street in the City, and building in Victoria Street which later became the Westminster Palace Hotel.

1867 - New India Office completed.

1868 - Foreign Office moves in to new building.
