View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 64 and 66 together.
The civil servants in my Department have access to a number of flexible working options, in line with overall Civil Service policies in this regard.
In terms of blended working, my Department’s internal Blended Working Policy was developed in line with the overall Civil Service Blended Working Policy Framework. There is no review of my Department’s internal policy ongoing at this time.
Finally, there are no discrepancies based on seniority in respect of flexible working or remote working policies in my Department.
