Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in each of the last six years for which figures are available, how much income was received by the Information Commissioner's Office in respect of its data protection activities; how much of that was spent on such activities; and how much was remitted to the Consolidated Fund.
The Information Commissioner’s Office’s (ICO) income from data protection fees and the corresponding amount remitted to the Consolidated Fund for the last six years is set out in the table below:
Year | Data Protection Fee Income (£’000) | Amount remitted to the Consolidated fund (£’000) |
2014/15 | 17,519 | 0 |
2013/14 | 16,528 | 781 |
2012/13 | 16,055 | 359 |
2011/12 | 15,484 | 446 |
2010/11 | 14,965 | 505 |
2009/10 | 13,192 | 0 |
The amount available to spend each year on data protection activities is dependent on the number of organisations that notify with the ICO. Income for 2015/16 is currently profiled to be £18.5M.
