Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate he has made of the amount of unpaid overtime worked by staff in his Department in the last 24 months.
Regarding the records of unpaid overtime for staff working in the department or its executive agencies, the information requested is not held centrally.
The department is committed to the wellbeing of its staff, and discourages long working hours to make sure that staff are able to maintain their work/life balance. Managers have responsibility for making sure that their staff do not work excessive hours.
