To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 17 December 2024 to Question 18565 on Recruitment: Location, how many and what proportion of civil servants in her Department are on location-neutral employment terms.
Answered on
22 January 2025
None. Almost all members of staff are on a contract which specifies a particular office in which they are based. I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 13 January 2025 to question 21618 which provided the number of staff assigned to work in each of our offices as at 31 December 2024. As at 31 December 2024, 31 members of staff were contractually based at their home; equivalent to less than 1% of the total number of staff in the department.
