Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what proportion of departmental civil servants work (1) wholly, and (2) primarily, from home; and how these figures compare to those prior to March 2020.

Since the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, Civil Servants have increased their numbers in the office as steps have been taken to ensure offices are able to operate at full capacity as quickly as possible. In the Cabinet Office, for example, all of our core office buildings around the country are now operating again at full capacity and office occupancy in our HQ building is already back to pre-pandemic levels.

The Minister for Brexit Opportunities and Government Efficiency is monitoring office occupancy levels across government and will support all Ministers in delivering their return to the workplace plans.
