Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what proportion of staff in her Department have (a) office-based, (b) hybrid and (c) remote-working contracts.

In the Department for Transport the majority of employees are assigned to an office or a specific workplace location within their contract. Hybrid working is not a contractual form of working and as it is agreed within individual teams based on business needs, is not centrally recorded.

The only employees who could be classed as having ‘remote-working contracts’ would be those who are contractual homeworkers. Only 0.67% of employees within the core department have a recorded homeworking contract as of January 2026.
