Ministry of Justice: Buildings

Asked by Sir Ashley FoxConservativeMinistry of JusticeTabled Answered 3 March 2025UIN 32648

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, 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 Alex Davies-Jones

Ministry of Justice staff are able to attend an office location without needing to book a desk. This includes our Department’s Arm’s Length Bodies. This approach does not apply to non-operational staff based in the operational estate, which has separate access conditions and processes, due to the security requirements of these sites.
