Asked by Mike WoodConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 3 July 2026UIN 12706

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate HMRC has made of the number of staff who have not attended the office for more than six months.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

Around 4000 staff have not attended an office for more than six months. The vast majority of whom are on statutory leave, such as maternity leave, have alternative contractual arrangements or who have another reason for non-attendance in the office such as staff with disabilities or temporary caring flexibilities.
