The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many staff were recorded as entering his London departmental HQ building on Friday 29 May 2026 based on (a) pass or (b) Wifi access data.

Answered by Samantha Dixon

Based on Wi-Fi access data, 295 individuals were recorded working from our 2 Marsham Street office on Friday 29 May 2026. This figure is slightly lower than typical levels, reflecting reduced attendance during the half-term period.
