Civil Servants have to ability to work flexibly across government sites where there is a business need to do so. The issuing of all passes is controlled by the local Departmental Security teams who follow strict procedures and protocols. Information on the number of people holding security passes for other government departments who are granted access to the Cabinet Office premises is not centrally recorded.

My department has issued a total of 12,065 building access passes since 2010.

My department has 2,506 active passes.
