Wales Office: Remote Working

Asked by Sir John HayesConservativeWales OfficeTabled Answered 8 July 2025UIN 63981

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, how much her Department has spent on equipment to enable staff to work from home in each of the last three years.

Answered by Jo Stevens

This information is not centrally held. The Office has a hybrid working policy and all staff are issued with a laptop and mobile phone to allow remote working where necessary. Staff are expected to spend at least 60 per cent of their time in the office or on official business, which can include conducting site visits or meeting stakeholders.
