A statement from the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) said the decision was made as a precautionary and proactive measure to ensure the safety and well-being of its employees and the public as weather conditions are anticipated to deteriorate.
"The Met Office has advised that adverse weather conditions may develop this evening, potentially impacting transportation and the ability of employees to commute safely," OPM said.
