Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many and what proportion of (a) directly and (b) non-directly employed staff in his Department are currently (i) working from home, (ii) furloughed or (iii) attending the workplace, by grade; and if he will make a statement.

The Ministry of Justice is made up of HMCTS, HMPPS, an HQ, executive agencies and departmental ALBs. The figures below show all civil servants in this category excluding HMCTS and HMPPS. The majority of staff are working from home (approximated to 100%, as per the table below). A small number go into offices where there is a business need or because of personal circumstances, however this figure changes day-by-day. None have been furloughed.

The figures below show non-payroll staff, who are non-directly employed. These include agency staff, interim managers, specialist contractors and consultants. The majority of staff are working from home (approximated to 100%, as per the table below). A small number go into offices where there is a business need or because of personal circumstances, however this figure changes day-by-day. None have been furloughed.

Non-payroll staff are not assigned to civil service grades, so the total is provided only.
