Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the staff capacity is at the civil service hub building in Peterborough; and what the average staff occupancy is.

Quay House, in Peterborough, was opened in March 2023, bringing together approximately 1,200 civil servants from several government bodies to work in one shared building. Not all civil servants will be in the office at the same time. The building has a maximum safe occupancy of 1,082.

The Government publishes average occupancy data for all departmental HQs at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-service-hq-occupancy-data. The government does not publish data for any building that is not a departmental HQ.
