Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the publication entitled Cabinet Office - Second Headquarters: Year in Review 2025, of 9 January 2026, how many headcount staff are assigned to work in the second Headquarters; and how many desks there are.

The Cabinet Office Second Headquarters is based in the Government Hub at 1 Atlantic Square, Glasgow.

The Cabinet Office's Second Headquarters serves as a key regional base, accommodating over 700 Cabinet Office staff.

It has been the practice of successive governments not to comment, on grounds of both national security and staff safety, on the physical capacity or staffing numbers for individual buildings of the government estate.
