Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: Darlington

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the answer of 22 June 2026, to Question 9580, on MHCLG: Darlington, for what reason the 6 assigned employees did not attend the office at all in that quarter.

Answer

We do not report on individuals’ personal circumstances. The Department's workplace attendance policy allows colleagues to discuss exceptions to office attendance expectations with their line manager, who is responsible for deciding exceptions in line with departmental policy.

The Department does not routinely publish the specific reasons why individual employees did not attend the office during a particular reporting period.
