Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether civil servants and members of the armed forces working in MoD Main Building are permitted to bring domestic pets to work.

Civil Servants and members of the Armed Forces are not permitted to bring domestic pets into Ministry of Defence (MOD) Main Building. The only exceptions to this policy are dogs which work to assist individuals who have disabilities such as visual impairment or deafness, or an animal that is on duty and performing a task that is necessary for the security of the building or its occupants such as a Police sniffer dog. The MOD is compliant with the policy.
