Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether there are any requirements for civil servants to book a desk in advance in order to attend the office in person in each of (a) their Department's office workplaces and (b) the arm’s length bodies of their Department.

Advance desk reservations are encouraged to secure appropriate workspace within Ministry of Defence (MOD) Main Building. Desk booking services for the wider MOD including arm’s length bodies are not centrally held and would come at disproportionate cost to the Department in producing this information.
