The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the answer of 8 July 2026 to Question 12156 on Cabinet Office: Facilities Agreements, what the cost was of facility time to her Department in each year since 2023-24.

Answered by Cabinet Office

The total cost of facility time in the Cabinet Office for 2023-24 and 2024-25 can be found published online at the following website:

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/public-sector-trade-union-facility-time-data

Facility time for 2025-26 was not reported, as it is no longer a requirement following the repeal of the Trade Union (Facility Time Publication Requirements) Regulations 2017 in February 2026. The Cabinet Office published facility time data for the last time in 2024/25.
