Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what percentage of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy's data is hosted (1) in the UK, and (2) overseas.
This question was answered on 30th April 2018
The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy estimates that by volume more than 90% of its data is hosted in the UK. It has been necessary to provide an estimate given an ongoing, internal programme of work to move from UK-based hosting arrangements to cloud-based services that have their primary data centre within the UK and a secondary data centre overseas.
