Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what their Departments policy is on Civil Servants in their Department working from home and receiving the London Weighting Allowance.

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) does not have a London weighting allowance. DCMS Civil Servants are placed on either a London or National pay scale which is determined by their contracted working location. Staff who are contracted to work from our London office are placed on a London payscale. In common with the vast majority of employers DCMS has adopted hybrid working and requires staff to work from their contracted office an average of two days per week.
