Whitehall civil servants will have their computers monitored in a bid to get people back to the office permanently.
Civil servants in the Cabinet Office, which has around 2,700 staff, have been told that management will monitor how often they log on to their computers to track how much they work from home.
It comes after business secretary, and former Cabinet Office minister, Jacob Rees-Mogg started a drive earlier this year to get civil servants back into the office post-Covid.
Occupancy in the Cabinet Office hit 42 per cent during August, but recent figures has it around 66 per cent.
The Sun reports that mandarins will be tracked through wi-fi and computer log-ins to get a better gauge of how many people are in the department at a time.
A Cabinet Office spokesperson said: “We have been consistently clear that we want to see office attendance across the civil service consistently back at pre-pandemic levels.”
