This is an information request relating to council officers being given permission to work from outside the United Kingdom. By the United Kingdom, I refer to Northern Ireland, England, Wales and Scotland, not including the crown dependencies.

Please include the following information for the following financial years 2021/22, 2022/23, 2023/24:

1. The number of employees currently with permission to work outside of the United Kingdom.

2. The number of employees who were given permission to work outside of the United Kingdom.

3. If possible, for each employee given permission, please provide their pay band, and the country which they were provided permission to work from.

Response

The Freedom of Information Act is based on recorded information held by a local authority, it is not a tool to ask questions.

Your request is simply asking questions and therefore falls outside the remit of the Act.
