Jacob Rees-Mogg says civil servants must return to the office
The Guardian says civil servants will be told to return to their desks to ensure government department offices are running at “full capacity”, according to reports.
Jacob Rees-Mogg, the minister for government efficiency, has written to all secretaries of state calling on them oversee the “rapid return” of officials to their workplaces.
In a letter to ministers, he wrote: “Now that we are learning to live with Covid and have lifted all legal restrictions in England, we must continue to accelerate the return of civil servants to office buildings to realise the benefits of face-to-face, collaborative working and the wider benefits for the economy.
“To deliver this, the chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster [Steve Barclay] and I urge you to issue a clear message to civil servants in your department to ensure a rapid return to the office.”
