Civil Servants: Remote Working

Asked by Mr Richard HoldenConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 30 July 2024UIN 1810

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the Government's policy is on home working across the civil service.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The government's entire focus is on the work of delivering change. The government has not yet reviewed existing guidance on home working. We will support the Civil Service with the necessary tools to ensure it can deliver that change. The Government is committed to supporting individuals and businesses to work in ways that best suit their particular circumstances and whilst terms and conditions relating to hours of work are delegated to departments as individual employers, the Civil Service must ensure that it provides value for money for the public.
