Ministry of Defence: Remote Working

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much his Department has spent on equipment for civil servants to work from home in each of the last three years.

Answered by Al Carns

The Department embraces flexible working arrangements where appropriate.

In some cases the Department may provide additional equipment to support flexible working patterns, but to gather the costs of these across the Department would require disproportionate time.
