Home Office: Civil Servants

Asked by Sir Ashley FoxConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 11 November 2024UIN 9276

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many civil servants are assigned to work in each of her Department's offices; and how many desks are available in each office.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

The Home Office has 24,311 desks occupied by 38,775 staff across its core office estate.

The Home Office does not disclose the locations of each of its office buildings for security reasons, so cannot provide a breakdown of the number of desks at each location.
