Departmental Data Protection
Mrs. Laing: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions whether her Department's information assurance procedures have been subject to an independent audit. [299385]
Jim Knight: The Department's information assurance procedures have been independently assessed in accordance with the HMG Information Assurance Maturity Model and the associated Framework in March 2009. The assessment was undertaken by the Communications-Electronic Security Group.
Departmental Energy
Grant Shapps: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what the (a) energy rating and (b) energy band of each building occupied by her Department and its agencies was in each year for which figures are available. [299314]
Jim Knight: Display Energy Certificates (DECs) are the means by which Government have implemented the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive in England and Wales. From October 2008, buildings with a total useful floor area of over 1000m(2) that are occupied by a public authority and by institutions providing a public service to a large number of persons must display an annually updated DEC showing an Operational Rating, in a prominent place clearly visible to the public.
In Scotland, the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive has been enacted differently. From 4 January 2009, public authorities and institutions occupying buildings with a total useful floor area over 1,000m(2) must display in an area clearly visible to the public an Energy
Performance Certificate (EPC) showing the building's asset rating. These are valid for a period of 10 years.
A table showing the performance for the past two years of those DWP buildings in England and Wales
that require a DEC is as follows, together with similar information relating to DWP buildings in Scotland where an EPC is required.
