Written question asked by Andrew George (Liberal Democrat) on Tuesday, 10 June 2025, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 12 June 2025. It was answered by Georgia Gould (Labour) on Wednesday, 18 June 2025 on behalf of the Cabinet Office.

Buildings: Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly

Question: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what recent estimate he has made of the occupancy levels of premises (a) owned and (b) leased by (i) the Government and (ii) its agencies in (A) Cornwall and (B) the Isles of Scilly.

Answer

Central data on Civil Service Headquarters (HQ) occupancy is collected and published quarterly on GOV.UK (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-service-hq-occupancy-data) for all HQ buildings of Whitehall Departments, Office for Scotland, Office for Wales and Northern Ireland Office.

As was the case under the previous administration, no other information on workforce attendance is gathered centrally. Heads of departments have agreed that 60% minimum office attendance for most staff continues to be the best balance of working for the Civil Service.
