</p><p>*HM Courts Service and the Tribunals Service merged in April 2011 and became
HM Courts and Tribunals Service and therefore these details are not recorded separately.</p><p>**
Includes the number of incidents involving physical security in prisons.</p><p> </p><p>Responsibility
for HM Land Registry was transferred to the Department for Business, Innovation and
Skills in July 2011 and therefore the Ministry of Justice does not hold this information.</p><p>
</p><p>The figures include a wide range of types of incident, including loss of IT
equipment (which would usually be password protected or encrypted to protect the information);
verbal abuse and threats to court staff, judiciary and members of the public; and
a wide variety of incidents in prisons.</p><p> </p><p>The Department and its agencies
apply robust incident management processes, including a requirement for staff to report
breaches resulting in potential harm/loss to assets (information, people, buildings
and equipment).</p><p> </p><p>When a security incident involving the disclosure of
personal data is identified prompt action is taken locally to limit harm and residual
action is then taken to seek to alleviate further recurrence.</p><p> </p>
