The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, how much the UK Space Agency has spent on equipment for staff to work from home in each of the last three years.

Answered by Chris Bryant

Obtaining information on how much the UK Space Agency (UKSA) has spent on equipment for staff to work from home in each of the last three years could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost.

The UKSA has its own policies relating to provision of equipment for working from home in line with Health and Safety legislation and how this is procured or employees reimbursed.

The UKSA have agreed that 40-60% minimum office attendance for staff continues to be the best balance of working for the UKSA.
