Written Question
Monday 30th November 2020
Asked by:
Baroness Hoey (Non-affiliated - Life peer)
Question
to the Cabinet Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what percentage of civil servants are currently working from home.
Answered by Lord True
- Shadow Leader of the House of Lords
The information on Civil Servants currently working from home is not held centrally.
Civil Servants are required to follow the local COVID measures wherever they are deployed throughout the UK. Where staff are able to work from home effectively they are doing so and Civil Servants working in essential services will continue to go into our COVID secure workplaces where necessary.
During September we collected data weekly; the number of employees working in the workplace in the London area for some or all of their working patterns were 27,724 individuals by the end of the month. Moving to a monthly collection period from October, workplace attendance increased to 33,151.
