Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 2 December 2021 to Question 81163 on Treasury: Working Hours, whether records required by Regulation 9 of the Working Time Regulations 1998 are kept by HM Revenue and Customs for two years.

In line with Regulation 9 of the Working Time Regulations 1998, HMRC keep records of staff working hours. Standard weekly working hours and patterns are recorded on the online HMRC HR system and the data, as well as any notification of changes to working hours or patterns, is retained until the staff are age 78. This is in accordance with the HMRC Departmental Retention and Disposal Policy.
