Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many (a) disciplinary actions and (b) dismissals of Home Office officials have there been for unauthorised access to personal data since July 2024.
We do not hold data specifically on the number of cases involving unauthorised access to personal data and would otherwise be disproportionate effort to retrieve.
The nearest category for which we hold data is ‘Unauthorised Access IT Systems, Databases and Record Systems’, the following have been prepared using these figures.
(a) Number of discipline actions ‘Unauthorised Access IT Systems, Databases and Record Systems’ | 19 | |
(b) Number of dismissals where the charge type is ‘Unauthorised Access IT Systems, Databases and Record Systems’ | 12 |
