Treasury: Remote Working
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much her Department spent on equipment for civil servants to work from home in each of the last three years.
Answered by James Murray
HMT only has the ability to track and report the following totals for each of the last 3 financial years on WFH IT kits (screens, headsets, keyboard and mouse);
(i) 2024/25 - £ 218,486
(ii) 2023/24 - £ 87,024
(iii) 2022/23 - £ 36,222
The 24/25 WFH kits shown above were a value for money expenditure where kits were bought in bulk to reduce expenditure in future years. No further purchases have been made in the current financial year.
