Treasury: Remote Working

Asked by Sir Ashley FoxConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 5 September 2025UIN 72027

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what proportion of staff in her Department did not meet the minimum office attendance target in the latest period for which data is available; and what sanctions her Department issues to staff who do not meet this target.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

The department collects data via an access control system to allow monitoring of office attendance. This system does not provide this data at individual level.

Managers are required to ensure employees meet the minimum office attendance targets and they have a number of management tools at their disposal to ensure compliance including both our formal and informal disciplinary procedures. We do not hold central records on the usage of such procedures.
