Public Sector: Facilities Agreements

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 17 March 2026UIN 119326

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, through what mechanism his Department reminds public bodies of the requirements to submit public sector facility time data each year; and whether this includes an electronic communication to public bodies sent by the Cabinet Office.

Answered by Satvir Kaur

Each year Cabinet Office sent an electronic communication, reminding those who had submitted public sector facility time data in the previous year, of the requirements to submit public sector facility time. Cabinet Office no longer sends any such communication, following the repeal of the requirement to report facility time data to the Cabinet Office as part of the Employment Rights Act (2025).
