Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when his Department plans to close its TikTok account.

The Ministry of Justice does not have, and never has had, an operational TikTok account. Two TikTok account names were acquired for security reasons to ensure another person/party is not able to use them posing as the Ministry of Justice. The accounts have never been used and so there are no current plans to close them. They have zero followers, follow zero accounts, have zero likes and have not shared any content. Staff do not access them.

The account names are:

• ‘ministryofjusticeuk’
• ‘justicegovuk’
