To ask the Chancellor of the exchequer, how many days a week staff in the Office for Value for Money will be allowed to work from home; and how many staff that Office will employ.
Darren Jones
The Chief Secretary to the Treasury
The Office for Value for Money (OVfM) is staffed by civil servants with a range of professional disciplines, from within HM Treasury and other partner organisations. In line with Civil Service expectations, staff will spend 60% of their time working from the office.
The OVfM is a time-limited team within HM Treasury. We expect around 20 staff to be working within the office.

The chancellor of the exchequer is the government's chief financial minister and as such is responsible for raising government revenue through taxation or borrowing and for controlling overall government spending.
The chancellor's plans for the economy are delivered to the House of Commons every year in the Budget speech.
The chancellor is the most senior figure at the Treasury, even though the prime minister holds an additional title of 'First Lord of the Treasury'. He normally resides at Number 11 Downing Street.
