Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, with reference to the Cabinet Office press release of 24 October 2024, “Civil Service continues commitment to minimum 60% office attendance”, whether the Monthly Average HQ Building Occupancy percentage statistics are based on (a) the average occupancy of desk capacity in the HQ building, or (b) the average workplace attendance of civil servants assigned to work in the HQ building.

As was the case under the last administration, of which the Right Honourable Lady was a member, the monthly average HQ building occupancy percentage statistics are based on the percentage of employees working in a departmental HQ building compared to its capacity.
