Government Departments: Lost Property
Question
Jim McMahon
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many government (a) mobile phones (b) laptops (c) tablets were reported lost or stolen for each year from 2015 to date.
Answer
Chris WardThis answer only provides information for the Cabinet Office, Government Digital Service (GDS) and the Central Digital and Data Office (CDDO) IT Provision. This answer is not inclusive of Number 10.
It also only extends back to 3rd July 2018 as records before this date are not held centrally by the Cabinet Office.
The table also lists reported equipment. Some of this equipment may have been recovered after having been reported. Also please note that GDS & CDDO moved to DSIT earlier this year and as such, their contribution to the metrics will have reduced.
