For clarity, I am not suggesting that the taxpayer bear the cost of equipment. I am just trying to tease it out because we know that if the worker was in the office, the employer would be paying for the heating, electricity, broadband and so on.

I am interested in hearing about if the employer will bear some of those costs as well. I am trying to make that distinction. Why should the employer not share a cost of the work from home relief for heating, electricity and broadband? That is more what I mean.
