Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what his planned timetable is for the rollout of GovPass to all civil servants.

The GovPass project is rationalising the provision of security passes across the government estate; it will improve the effectiveness and efficiency of these arrangements, including in support of interoperability as departments increasingly share space. GovPass has been developed in conjunction with the national technical authorities and the Government Property Agency. Business cases for the project have been taken through appropriate governance, and deployment is being managed incrementally to ensure best value. It would not be appropriate to provide more detail of these protective security arrangements.
