Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much funding her Department (a) budgeted for and (b) spent on software updates to legacy computer systems in each of the last three financial years.
Answered by Damian Hinds
As per the Central Digital and Data Office (CDDO) definition of legacy, the department is only reporting one legacy system centrally. This service provides supporting checks for multiple policies within the department and is end of life. This service links to other government services and shares data through application programming interfaces. There have been two costs associated with this service that the department can report.
Costings will be published in the usual way in the department’s annual reports and accounts.
