UK Debt Management Office: Remote Working
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much the UK Debt Management Office has spent on equipment to enable staff to work from home in each of the last three years.
Answered by James Murray
The Debt Management Office (DMO) is an office-based organisation with a solely UK presence. In line with Cabinet Office policy, the DMO expects a 60% minimum office attendance for most staff which continues to be the best balance of working for the Civil Service.
The table below shows the DMO’s spending on home working equipment for each of the three previous financial years. The higher spend in 2022-23 and 2024-25 was for updated equipment to enable essential software upgrades (87% and 97% respectively of the total spend).
Year | Spend |
2022-23 | £25,000 |
2023-24 | £4,000 |
2024-25 | £49,000 |
