The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, how many and what proportion of desks were occupied in each of his 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 Ian Murray

For the 4-week period from 2 September 2024 to 27 September 2024, the Scotland Office’s London Office had an average of 17 staff attend per day and an average of 56% of desks occupied. Please note that part of this reporting period included recess when we are more likely to have leave, visits and stakeholder engagement. We are not required to collect this data for our Edinburgh Office.
