Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many Private Office staff by grade were deemed to be carrying out essential work that required their daily physical attendance in 2 Marsham Street (a) before and (b) after Parliament’s Whitsun recess.

In line with guidance from the Cabinet Office, a very small number of officials are voluntarily undertaking essential work in 2 Marsham Street on some days of the week

As the number of officials is so small, it would not be appropriate to identify them by grade.
