The Department does not hold centrally managed records of TOIL for the period in question. TOIL forms just one of the options where conditioned hours are exceeded; those who use the flexi system can choose to credit hours under this policy, and overtime may be paid where agreed in advance with line management.</p><p>The Department ensures that the requirements of the Working Time Regulations of 1998 as regards civil service working hours are adhered to and has a commitment to the well-being of our staff which aims to ensure that everyone has a good work/life balance. We want to create a working environment that allows people to flourish and thrive through positive, supportive relationships which recognise the importance of individual wellbeing, and how this may be affected by working patterns and practices. The commitment of our Senior Civil Service cadre to the wellbeing of their staff is demonstrated by the fact that 85 per cent have completed the Wellbeing Confident Leadership Training.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 25/07/2019 10:04:06 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2019 answer text <p>The Department has not made an assessment of unpaid overtime. The Department has a number of policies in place to recognise the occasional circumstances in which staff might work more than their conditioned hours. These include the flexi-credit system in which staff can accrue flexi hours to allow time off at a later point should they choose to enrol in the flexi policy. They also have the chance to take TOIL (time off in lieu) for any additional time worked. Approved overtime is agreed with managers in advance and remunerated in line with our overtime policy.</p><p>The Department ensures that the requirements of the Working Time Regulations of 1998 as regards civil service working hours are adhered to and has a commitment to the well-being of our staff which aims to ensure that everyone has a good work/life balance.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2019 answer text <p>The Government Major Projects Portfolio (GMPP) is a continually evolving portfolio of the government’s most complex and high risk projects. Direct comparisons of the GMPP across years should therefore be treated with caution. Projects join and leave the GMPP throughout the year and it is therefore likely that a simple comparison across two time points will refer to different sets of projects.</p><p>At the end of June 2016 (i.e. the end of the Quarter 1 reporting period for 2016-17), there were no officials in the Department for Communities and Local Government, my Department's predecessor, working on GMPP projects.</p><p>GMPP data for December 2018 (Q3 2018/19) has not yet been cleared and finalised. At the end of September 2018 (i.e. the latest submitted data, at end of the Quarter 2 reporting period for 2018-19), there were no officials in the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government working on GMPP projects.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 31/01/2019 13:58:12 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry
