Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many (a) desktop, (b) laptop and (c) tablet computers his Department has lost in each of the last three years.

The number of (a) desktop, (b) laptop and (c) tablet computers that were reported as lost in 2013, 2014 and 2015 to date is set out in the tables. The figures provided are for the entire Department including its executive agencies.

All DfT laptops have full disc encryption to approved Government standards, so it is virtually impossible to recover any data from them without additional hardware and passwords.
