Treasury: Buildings

Asked by Sir Ashley FoxConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 27 February 2025UIN 32644

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether there are any requirements for civil servants to book a desk in advance in order to attend the office in person in each of (a) their Department's office workplaces and (b) the arm’s length bodies of their Department.

Answered by James Murray

HM Treasury uses office space in multi-department buildings that are managed by the Government Property Agency, who provide a desk/place booking system for staff in each of our offices.

Responsibility for any desk booking sits with each individual arm's length body, rather than HMT.
