Ministry of Defence: Greater Manchester

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 8 September 2026UIN 20864

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the average percentage attendance rate was for his Department's staff at Piccadilly Gate, Manchester in the most recent working week for which figures are available, (a) as a percentage of assigned staff attending the workplace and (b) in absolute terms.

Answered by Ministry of Defence

Between Wednesday 25 August and Thursday 3 September, 93 Ministry of Defence employees attended Piccadilly Gate. This equates to 82 per cent of employees who work primarily from Picadilly Gate. Attendance varies from week to week, and as this data refers to the end of the summer holiday period it may not be reflective of wider attendance rates.
