Asked by:

Answer
There is no centrally held record of officials who opted out of the EU working time regulations and this information could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. Our departmental policy is that staff may opt out of the 48-hour working time limit at any time. These staff members are then supported via local line management, who arrange for regular health and safety risk assessments to monitor the impact.
