lpoutine,
Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Work from home" in forum "Victoria and South Island Economy".

Labour councils are TWICE as likely to let their staff 'work from the beach' than Tory ones as figures show town halls approved more than 1,350 requests from staff to do their job from abroad
Labour currently controls seven of the top ten councils in terms of the largest numbers of requests approved in the past three years.
This includes Merton Council in south London (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/london/index.html), which approved 251 requests to work from abroad, Islington Council in north London (237) and Leeds City Council (74).
Tory MP Peter Bone said: 'Labour councils cost you more and deliver less.
'Maybe these figures show one of the reasons why. You can get more productivity from people being in the office.'
It comes after the Daily Mail yesterday revealed how hundreds of council staff have been 'working from the beach' (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12476477/HUNDREDS-council-staff-working-beach-WFH.html) – with a ten-fold rise in the number allowed to log in from abroad.
Downing Street yesterday waded into the row over productivity with the Prime Minister's official spokesman saying 'in-office working' should be the 'default'.
