answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2024 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD), along with other Government Departments, is committed to Smarter Working and much of our workforce has embraced the benefits of hybrid working both for themselves personally and for the business. We have implemented Government direction on increased office attendance and, as a broad average, 40% of time is spent working remotely for office based workers, for some this will be more and for others less. This is dependent upon the activity and business outcomes to be delivered. All employees agree their working location with their local line management, although this can sometimes be influenced by site capacity constraints.</p><p> </p><p>Details of Departmental headquarters’ occupancy are published on a regular basis and can be found at the following link: <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fcivil-service-headquarters-occupancy-data&amp;data=05%7C02%7CPaul.Carlier927%40mod.gov.uk%7C084308d82f9843c7b91f08dc437d993c%7Cbe7760ed5953484bae95d0a16dfa09e5%7C0%7C0%7C638459453917686707%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=LJi6QK0rs2cFKEKhWpfFPqVYimp8nfn%2BZ9ZnOXRuBbM%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-service-headquarters-occupancy-data</a></p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 19/03/2024 11:55:28 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
