To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the publication entitled Cabinet Office - Second Headquarters: Year in Review 2025, of 9 January 2026, how many headcount staff are assigned to work in the second Headquarters; and how many desks there are.

Answer

The Cabinet Office Second Headquarters is based in the Government Hub at 1 Atlantic Square, Glasgow.
