Scotland Office: Flexible Working
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what proportion of staff in his Department have flexible working arrangements; and how many of those work compressed hours.
Answered by Ian Murray
The Scotland Office does not employ staff directly. All staff that join do so on an assignment, loan or secondment from other Government bodies, principally the Scottish Government and the Ministry of Justice, who remain the employers. All staff assigned to the Scotland Office adhere to the policies of their parent department, including those on flexible working.
The Scotland Office has three members of staff with formal compressed hours contracts.
