Jacob Rees-Mogg calls for civil servants return to office working

May 18,2023 7:41 am

Civil servants must stop working from home and return to The Office to ensure government buildings are at full capacity, ministers have been told.

Cabinet Office minister Jacob Rees-Mogg has written to cabinet colleagues urging them to send a " clear message" to the Civil Service about returning.

The government efficiencies minister said there was " much further to go" to reach pre-pandemic levels.

Average daily attendance in the week of 4 April was 44%, figures show.

The government's recommendation for people to work from home, after being reintroduced in The Face of the emergence of the Omicron variant Last Year .

In a letter to The Heads of government departments dated 13 April, seen by The Bbc , Mr Rees-Mogg urged cabinet ministers to " review any guidance within your departments that sets an expectation of the minimum number of days in The Office per week. "

He also sent a league table of daily Civil Service office attendance from the week beginning on 4 April, which shows in some departments daily average of Staff in the workplace was lower than a third.

The Department For Education had the lowest office attendance at 25% of current daily capacity, while and The Department for International Trade was highest at 73%.

The average across all departments in the same week was 44%, according to the figures.

'Simply unacceptable'

Mr Rees-Mogg said he planned to continue visiting departments with lower attendance figures to " ensure We Are making efficient use of the Central London estate".

Some senior Tory MPs have also called for more to be done to encourage civil servants back to work.

Sir Graham Brady , chair of the backbench 1922 committee, wrote at the weekend: " It is simply unacceptable for so many of our public servants to continue sitting At Home . "

Asked about The Letter , a government spokeswoman said: " Ministers have been clear that departments should make maximum use of Office Space and progress is being monitored. "

However, some have suggested forcing civil servants to return to The Office may be counter-productive.

In a The Institute for Government Think Tank argued offering hybrid working has key benefits to help the government achieve its agenda and said the government would be wrong to force a return to full-time office work.

It said the benefits of flexible working were needed to help the government relocate centres of the Civil Service outside of London - and to recruit The Best Staff .
