To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 28 March 2023
to Question 166164 on Government Departments: Staff, what the overall rating out of
100 recorded was in the most recent Leesman office surveys undertaken by (a) the Asylum,
Protection and Enforcement Directorate, (b) the Immigration Enforcement Directorate,
(c) Border Force, (d) HM Passport Office and (e) UK Visas and Immigration.
<ol><li>The results from the most recent Leesman surveys participated by those departments
listed is set out in the table below:</li></ol><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Department</p></td><td><p>Date
of participation of most recent Leesman survey</p></td><td><p>Leesman Index Score
(out of 100)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Asylum, Protection and Enforcement Directorate</p></td><td><p>July
2021</p></td><td><p>55.3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Immigration Enforcement Directorate</p></td><td><p>July
2021</p></td><td><p>55.9</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Border Force</p></td><td><p>July

2021</p></td><td><p>56.7</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>GPA has launched
10 office based surveys with Leesman, starting in January 2021.</p><p> </p><p>All
the departments from the July 2021 survey were from 3 buildings the GPA were exiting
as part of the Croydon hub. The buildings surveyed were: Apollo House, Lunar House,
Metro Point.</p><p> </p><p>The January 2021 survey (HMPO) was a survey of one of the
buildings GPA surveyed to exit for the Peterborough hub. The building that score relates
to is Aragon Court, Peterborough.</p><p> </p><p>In both these surveys (Croydon and
Peterborough) the surveys were pre-occupancy. GPA were surveying the old estate that
the department was or is exiting. In these examples, low scores are helpful as they
demonstrate the case for needing these new hubs which GPA is creating. GPA will survey
the new hubs once people have moved in - Peterborough will be surveyed later in 2023.</p><p>

<p>We firmly believe it is in the interests of both the EU and the UK to strike a
deal. That remains the goal on both sides and we are confident that this will be achieved.
But it is the job of a responsible Government to prepare for all scenarios, so we
have already carried out very significant ‘no deal’ preparations for the unlikely
event that we reach March 2019 without agreeing a deal.</p><p>We have already published
over 100 technical notices so that businesses and citizens have time to prepare in
the event of a 'no deal' scenario. These are available on gov.uk in a centralised
location that is easy for people to access and use.</p>
