Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many staff of her Department have formal arrangements to work from home during the covid-19 outbreak.
Working from home data is not recorded on our HR systems. However, the number of staff logging into the Department’s computer system via a secure remote connection shows that approximately 20% of staff were working from home.
We have now provided an additional 6656 computers to enable working from home; we will deploy a further 6,000 in the next fortnight.
