Treasury: Remote Working

Asked by Rupert LoweRestore BritainTreasuryTabled Answered 10 July 2025UIN 64665

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many staff in her Department have permission to work remotely outside the UK; and in which countries those staff are based.

Answered by James Murray

HM Treasury's international remote working policy permits certain staff to work remotely overseas in order to accompany a partner posted abroad on HMG business. There are two members of staff who each have permission to work remotely from a European country. For UK GDPR purposes we are not able to share the countries where staff are located since they are there for personal circumstances.
