Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, on how many occasions her Department reported data breaches relating to the digital immigration status to the Information Commissioners Office since the launch of the EU Settled Status Scheme.

We have no known data breaches relating to digital immigration status that have been reported to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) since the launch of the EU Settlement Scheme (28^th August 2018).

We handle data breaches extremely seriously and if they occurred, they would be reported and raised with relevant teams in accordance with Home Office data handling procedures. All such incidents would then be referred to the relevant Data Protection Officer to investigate and assess against the data protection legislation to determine next steps and raise to the ICO if necessary.
