It was answered by Jim McMahon (Labour) on Friday, 18 September 2026 on behalf of the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.
Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: Darlington
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 14 July 2026 to Question 14979 on MHCLG: Darlington, if she will provide equivalent figures, expressed as percentage of assigned staff attending the workplace, for each other regional office in the most recent working week for which figures are available.
- Answer
-
We have provided, for each office location, as at the week commencing 24 August 2026:
- the average office attendance of employees assigned to each office during the week commencing 24 August 2026; and
- the proportion of employees assigned to that office who attended an MHCLG office during the same week.
The attendance figures are not restricted to attendance at an employee's contractual office location. Both the average attendance and proportion attending measures include visits to any MHCLG office.
We would also note that the proportion attending measure does not take account of employees who were absent for legitimate reasons during the period, such as annual leave.
Employees are expected to meet their office attendance requirements over the course of a quarter, rather than in any single week.
