Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 30 October 2024 to Question 9268 on HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS): Buildings, how many civil servants are assigned to work in HMCTS’s main office; and how many individual desks are available in that office.

For the purposes of this reply, we have interpreted reference to the Ministry of Justice’s headquarters building and the main office for HMCTS as being 102 Petty France.

The methodology used to calculate occupancy at the headquarters building at 102 Petty France does not take into account individual desk usage over specific time periods.
