Treasury: Remote Working
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if her Department permits civil servants employed in the UK to work from overseas on a regular basis.
Answered by Rachel Blake
HM Treasury employees may only request temporary overseas working for personal reasons in very limited circumstances. Such requests are considered on a case-by-case basis, fully taking account of operational requirements and risk.
Any approved arrangements are time‑limited, with employees able to work overseas for up to two weeks at a time and no more than four weeks in any rolling 12‑month period, and always subject to prior senior approval.
