The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how many and what proportion of desks were occupied in each of her Department's offices in the most recent four weeks for which figures are available; and how many staff attended each office in person in the same period.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

Our most recently available figures are for the month of August. Our London HQ saw an average of 81% desk utilisation and 171 staff attending the office per day. In our secondary Manchester HQ desk utilisation was 74% for that same month. This gives an overall average of 78% usage across our primary headquarters.
