The number of civil servants working in some Whitehall departments more than tripled this week after being told to return to the office, according to a Daily Mail audit.
Around a third of Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy workers returned to their desks on Thursday, with 611 employees recorded arriving through the main entrance between 7.30 and 11am, up from 170 on Monday.
At the Westminster Treasury offices, which also house employees from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, at least 571 workers arrived on Thursday morning.

This was around a quarter of the grand building’s 2,200 capacity but more than double the 215 employees recorded arriving on Monday.
At the seven-floor Westminster headquarters of the Department for Education, at least 383 employees arrived for work on Thursday – up from just 63 people last Friday – filling 20 per cent of the office’s 2,000-person capacity.
At the Department for Work and Pensions 238 people were recorded arriving through the main entrance, up from 94 a week earlier.
However, at the 6,500-capacity HMRC building in Longbenton, North Tyneside, just 224 staff were recorded turning up for work on Thursday.
