<p>Permanent staff in the Law Officers’ Departments have been entitled to apply for
flexible working for a number of years. However, complete records of the number of
employees who may have applied for flexible working are not maintained. The information
that is available is detailed below.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Treasury Solicitor’s
Department (TSol) only keeps records of flexible working patterns that impact directly
on pay and annual leave, and no separate record is held of applications made under
a statutory right. The current position, as at 31/10/2014, in respect of compressed
hours and part-time working is detailed in the table below.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
</p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="3"><p><strong>TSol</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Pattern</p></td><td><p>Male</p></td><td><p>Female</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Compressed

</p><p><em>*percentage of total male / **percentage of total female</em></p><p> </p><p><strong><em>Note:</em></strong><em>
TSol data also includes the Attorney General’s Office and Her Majesty’s Crown Prosecution
Service Inspectorate.</em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The following table contains
details on the applications made to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) for flexible
working between 23/06/2008 and 06/10/2014.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td

</p><p><strong>Note: </strong><em>The source data has been extracted from the CPS
Pay and Benefits working database on 20/11/2014. The CPS does not capture data for
statutory applications separately or any applications that may have been refused and
not forwarded to the CPS National Pay and Benefits Team.</em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
</p><p>The Serious Fraud Office does not retain any central record of applications
to work flexibly. However, currently 19.6% of men and 26% of women have some form
of flexible working arrangement.</p><p> </p>
