HM Land Registry: Buildings

Asked by Kevin HollinrakeConservativeMinistry of Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentTabled Answered 5 March 2025UIN 33495

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 27 January 2025 to Question 22777 on Land Registry: Buildings, how many staff are assigned to each of those office locations.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

Further to the answer given to Question UIN 22777 on 27 January 2025, the figure given for each office is the number of individual members of staff based at that office who attended the office on at least one day within the specified month.

A member of staff is recorded as having attended the office on any given day if they spent the majority of that day at a HM Land Registry office (or another workplace that is not a HM Land Registry office such as other government department, supplier premises or customer offices, where they needed to do so for work).

The number of staff assigned to each of HM Land Registry’s offices on 30 November 2024 and 26 February 2025 can be found in the table below. No adjustment has been made to attendance numbers to account for those on short term leave.
