answer text <p>As of 6 June 2022 the House of Lords Administration directly employs 670 individuals. The pay of employees of the House of Lords Administration is not dependent on, nor linked to, the location of their senior line manager.</p><p>The House of Lords Administration has a Flexible Working policy which supports individuals to work from home. Some Member-facing services, such as Chamber facing work, Catering &amp; Retail Services and Facilities, work predominantly on-site whilst other offices operate local arrangements whilst ensuring they meet business needs. The House of Lords Human Resources Department does not hold data on how many people employed by the House of Lords work from home for part of the working week. No employee of the House of Lords Administration is contracted to work from home for the whole of the working week.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Both Houses and the Scottish Parliament organise their communications/press and public relations functions in different ways which makes it hard to compare figures directly. Consequently, the figures below simply compare the number of FTEs employed predominantly on dealing with press/media.</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>House of Lords</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>House of Commons</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Scottish Parliament</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>FTEs employed on press/media</strong></p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p>19</p></td><td><p>7</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><br> <br>These figures do not include staff employed by either House or the Scottish Parliament on marketing, digital communications, public information, visitor services, education and engagement all of which contribute to their work on public relations. We do not hold these figures in respect of the House of Commons and Scottish Parliament.</p><p><br>No assessment has been made of how these figures compare with each other.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>At the end of Q1 2018, the Administration of the House of Lords had 607 employees. This equates to a full time equivalent (FTE) workforce of 513.4 staff. Of these staff, 46 (44.43 FTE) were employed in the Parliamentary Archives and the Parliamentary Procurement and Commercial Service, both of which provide a service to the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The Parliamentary Digital Service (PDS) is a joint department of both Houses. In June 2018, the total number of PDS staff was 456 (442.83 FTE). While there are a number of other offices or departments providing a bicameral service, those staff are not employed by the House of Lords Administration.</p> more like this
