Government Property Agency: Remote Working

Question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how much the Government Property Agency has spent on equipment to enable staff to work from home in each of the last three years.

Answer

The Government Property Agency uses the Cabinet Office's policy on Office Workstation Safety which includes the purchase of equipment for working at home. We do not have any formal home working contracts at the GPA.

IT equipment is purchased for the Government Property Agency (GPA) via Cabinet Office IT and recharged annually. However, to extract the relevant information would incur disproportionate costs.

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.
