Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, whether she has made representations to Equifax on UK citizens' requests for information relating to the inappropriate leaking of their personal data.

We take the security of personal data held by organisations very seriously and are addressing the Equifax data breach and its consequences for UK customers. The National Cyber Security Centre and partners including the National Crime Agency, Information Commissioner and Financial Conduct Authority, are all engaged with Equifax to examine this incident and any appropriate action will be taken.
