Question

Sir John Hayes

Conservative — South Holland and The Deepings

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how many days the Union Flag was flown on his Department's main sites in (a) 2024 and (b) 2025 to date.

Answer

Michael Shanks
The Department is a customer of the Government Property Agency in its office locations, and the Agency is responsible for the flying of flags, including when the Union Flag is flown. The Department does not therefore keep a record of this.
