Written question asked by Ashley Fox (Conservative) on Friday, 21 February 2025, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 25 February 2025. It was answered by Catherine West (Labour) on Monday, 3 March 2025 on behalf of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.


Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office: Buildings

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether there are any requirements for civil servants to book a desk in advance in order to attend the office in person in each of (a) their Department's office workplaces and (b) the arm’s length bodies of their Department.

Answer

Staff within the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) are not currently required to book or schedule attendance at the office, although individual teams may have their own arrangements to meet business needs.

The FCDO does not book desks for arm's length bodies. Desk booking services for these bodies are not centrally held and would come at a disproportionate cost to the department in producing this information.
