Treasury: Conditions of Employment

Asked by James McMurdockIndependentTreasuryTabled Answered 2 March 2026UIN 114478

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what proportion of staff in her Department have (a) office-based, (b) hybrid and (c) remote-working contracts.

Answered by Lucy Rigby

HM Treasury is an office‑based organisation. Staff are employed on office‑based contracts and may work remotely under the Department’s hybrid working policy, which expects at least 60% office attendance. Hybrid working is an informal arrangement and not contractual.

The Department does not generally offer home‑based contracts; full‑time homeworking is only agreed on a temporary basis, for example as a workplace adjustment.
