Northern Ireland Office: Remote Working
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, how much his Department has spent on equipment for civil servants to work from home in each of the last three years.
Answered by Hilary Benn
The Northern Ireland Office has spent the following on the provision of equipment for use at home in order to facilitate workplace adjustments:
Year | Expenditure |
2022 | £2,103.23 |
2023 | £27.98 |
2024 | £22.09 |
The Northern Ireland Office has adopted the Civil Service Smarter Working model, with the majority of our staff designated as hybrid workers. As set out by the Cabinet Office, staff are expected to spend a minimum of 3 days a week, or 60% of their time in the office, or on official visits.
