David Simpson (Upper Bann, DUP)
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many staff of his Department have been authorised to work from home in the last 12 months.
Kevan Jones (Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Veterans), Ministry of Defence; North Durham, Labour)
During the last 12 months, 25 individuals have been authorised to work either fully or partially from home on a regular basis.
The total number of employees currently recorded as working from home is 191. This includes 74 individuals who are wholly home workers and 117 who split their hours between home and office working.
These figures do not include staff who work from home on an ad hoc basis with the agreement of their line managers. Details of such discretionary arrangements are not held centrally.
