Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many civil servants were working from home by constituency on average during 2020.

This is not information that is centrally held.

Civil servants played a vital role in supporting the Government’s response to the pandemic, alongside delivering essential public services.

Following the removal of all pandemic restrictions, I have written to departments to underline the importance of workplace attendance. Civil servants, who had necessarily been working from home during the pandemic, are increasingly returning to regular working in the office
