Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether surge staff working in No10 North assigned to HM Treasury receive (a) subsistence allowance, (b) travel costs and (c) hotel costs.

As has been the case under successive administrations, employees who are temporarily placed in a location other than their designated offices abide by their existing home department’s travel and expenses policy. This applies to employees volunteering to work in No. 10 North. [A recruitment campaign for permanent staff will begin soon.]
