Question

To ask the hon. Member for Broxbourne, representing the House of Commons Commission, with reference to the guidance by the Central Digital and Data Office entitled Guidance on the Legacy IT Risk Assessment Framework, published on 29 September 2023, how many red-rated IT systems are used by the House of Commons.

Parliament does not rate its IT systems according to the Legacy IT Risk Assessment Framework provided by the Central Digital and Data Office.

Priority One of Parliament’s Digital Strategy 2022–25 is ensuring that its digital services are flexible, secure and resilient, and Priority 3 of the Strategy is to make digital more sustainable and scalable by updating our operating models and identifying opportunities to improve ways of working. One of the ways Parliament supports these priorities is by managing its legacy technology burden and risk.
