Departmental Records: Lost Property
Jenny Willott: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what proportion of personal information relating to members of the public that has been lost by his Department or its agencies since 1997 has since been rediscovered in each year since 1997; and if he will make a statement. [215756]
Mr. Timms: The Department takes very seriously its responsibilities to protect customers’ personal information. Given the nature and scale of the business of the Department and its agencies, instances when such personal information is lost are rare. Such incidents as do arise are, because of their very nature, usually dealt with and resolved locally.
No central records are kept of such small localised incidents and, consequently, information about the proportion of personal information lost and rediscovered is not available.
Departmental Standards
Mr. Harper: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions which projects in his Department have been subject to gateway reviews; and what the gateway review status of each is. [211147]
Mr. Timms: Gateway reports, including the findings and status, are conducted on a confidential basis for senior responsible owners (SROs) and are not therefore made available.
The information in the following table provides a list of the gateway reviews undertaken on the Department’s projects since 1 January 2003 in date order. Records of reviews undertaken prior to this date are not held centrally.
