Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many civil servants are assigned to work in each of his Department's offices; and how many desks are available in each office.

The information to answer the hon. Member's question in full could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.

However, as of 1 April 2024, there was a total of 4,069 Full Time Equivalent Ministry of Defence (MOD) staff working at Main Building. Full Time Equivalence is a figure that allows part-time workers’ hours to be put into the same units as full-time workers. Please note this figure includes all employees in MOD and the four Executive Agencies, alongside Military personnel – it does not include Contractor staff or visitors.

There are 3,802 workplaces for use in MOD Main Building.
