Department for Work and Pensions: Buildings

Asked by Sir Ashley FoxConservativeDepartment for Work and PensionsTabled Answered 23 October 2024UIN 9287

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, 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 Andrew Western

Data regarding the number of staff attending each site is not held on our central system. Details are held at individual team level by line managers and as such we would have to contact all line managers for input. As the Department does not keep this information centrally, to provide it would incur disproportionate costs.
