The office workplace attendance requirement is a minimum of 40% at all the Department’s office locations.

The Department collates anonymised and aggregated occupancy statistics for some of its locations:

Belfast – Erskine House

Darlington – Feethams House

Edinburgh – Queen Elizabeth House

Leeds – 7-8 Wellington Place

London – 55 Whitehall & 3-8 Whitehall Place.

Additionally, the Department provides quarterly data to the Cabinet Office for its main London building, showing average building occupancy for each month in the quarter. This is published on GOV.UK.
