HM Land Registry: Buildings
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what guidance she has issued to civil servants in the Land Registry on how frequently they should attend the office each week; how many and what proportion of desks were occupied in each Land Registry office in the most recent four weeks for which figures are available; and how many staff attended each office in person in the same period; and what assessment she has made of the potential implications for her policies of the proposed PCS trade union industrial action.
- Answer
-
The guidance given to HM Land Registry’s staff regarding office attendance is in line with the guidance published by the Cabinet Office. This guidance states that staff must spend a minimum of 60% of their contracted working time in an office location.
The following table shows the percentage of desks that were occupied and how many staff attended an office location in the most recent four weeks where the data is available, for each of HM Land Registry’s 14 office locations:
