Cabinet secretary Sir Chris Wormald told the Commons Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee said he intends to 'stick to it'.
The head of the civil service, Sir Chris, is in disagreement with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer regarding the current policy requiring civil servants to work in the office a minimum of three days a week, which Sir Chris defends as the right balance. A trade union survey reveals that a majority of civil servants believe the mandatory three-day office attendance has failed. Civil servants report decreased productivity and want work arrangements focused on output rather than location, while the FDA calls for a review of the policy and an Equality Impact Assessment.
