<p>As per my answer to the hon. Member for Harrow West on 19 June 2013 (Official Report)
Column Ref: 741W.</p><p>As was the case under the previous Administration, there are
occasional incidents where equipment is reported lost or stolen. Staff are required
to report such incidents, and cases are investigated. Laptops which will hold sensitive
equipment are encrypted and mobile phones disabled as soon as an incident is reported.</p><p>It
is not possible to make a like-for-like comparison for the period covered by this
question because there has been a substantial increase in the number of mobile phones
and laptops issued to staff and the Department has been affected by various machinery
of Government changes.</p><p>Details of items for the Cabinet Office are as follows:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><em>Items</em></p></td><td><p><em>2010-11</em></p></td><td><p><em>2011-12</em></p></td><td><p><em>2012-13</em></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Computers/laptops</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>9</p></td><td><p>15</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Mobile
phones/BlackBerrys</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p>28</p></td><td><p>59</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Other
IT equipment</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>10</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>2014
numbers will be finalised in due course.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
