Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Remote Working
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether her Department permits civil servants employed in the UK to work from overseas on a regular basis.
Answered by Stephen Morgan
Defra does not permit employees to work overseas on a regular basis and has a robust policy and application process for use in exceptional circumstances only. All exceptional cases must comply with the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and other regulatory requirements and be authorised at a senior level.
