Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many breaches of protected personal data by his Department have been reported to the Information Commissioner; and how many people were involved in each such breach in each year since 2010-11.
Departments are obligated to publish such information in their Annual Report and Accounts. Copies of the Cabinet Office’s Annual Report and Accounts, up to and including 2013/2014, are available either from the Library or on-line.
The Cabinet Office takes any data losses very seriously and all such incidents are fully investigated.
