answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2024 answer text <p>The contract with Enterprise Rent-A-Car covers the Cabinet Office and its Agencies.</p><p>The Cabinet Office is obliged to report car hire journeys and the miles travelled when that hire car journey meets the criteria as laid down in the Greening Government Commitments. However, the department favours travel by public transport where most practical. Cabinet Office policy is that vehicle hire should only be used if travelling by car is deemed to be the most economical travel method for legitimate business journeys, and is cheaper than public transport. When hiring a vehicle, drivers should select the smallest and cheapest vehicle suitable for the journey.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Brentwood and Ongar answering member printed Alex Burghart question first answered 13/05/2024 14:45:38 answering member 4613 label Biography information for Alex Burghart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2024 answer text <p>Research into workplace practices across all sectors was undertaken which confirmed the clear benefits of face to face, workplace based collaborative working, which led to agreement across government for such an approach. That's why I set out the expectation for staff to be in the office at least 60% of the time, and I believe that our senior civil servants need to set an example as leaders.</p><p>There are significant benefits from spending time working together in person, either within teams, with colleagues from the same department or – in Government hubs – with colleagues from other departments. These include collaboration, innovation and fostering a sense of community. We know that in particular junior colleagues benefit from having time face to face with senior leaders and that those early in their careers find working face to face with their peers and managers makes them more effective more quickly.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 15/05/2024 16:39:55 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
