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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how many officials were investigated under their Department's disciplinary processes in each of the last five years.

From 1st January 2021 until 16th October 2025 25 officials have been investigated under the department’s disciplinary processes.

We are unable to provide the yearly breakdown of disciplinary investigations because doing so would breach the Data Protection Act. This is due to the risk of identifying individuals in years where the case count is five or less, as the information relates to someone other than the data subjects and the risk of individuals becoming identifiable where case numbers for some years are 5 or less.
