Civil Servants: Remote Working

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 9 June 2025UIN 54819

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 20 May 2025 to Question 51159 on Civil Servants: Remote Working, whether his Department collects workforce attendance data for buildings other than headquarters.

Answered by Georgia Gould

I refer the honourable gentleman to the answer given to HC51159. As was the case under the previous administration, the Cabinet Office collects data for departmental HQ attendance only. No other information on occupancy data or workforce attendance is gathered centrally.

Heads of departments have agreed that 60% minimum office attendance for most staff continues to be the best balance of working for the Civil Service.
