answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2016 answer text <p>The Ministry of Justice is one of the largest government departments and has responsibility for a number of different parts of the justice system - the courts, tribunals, prisons, legal services, youth justice, probation services, and attendance centres. The Department includes terms and conditions in its contracts that require third parties such as contracted-out services and suppliers (e.g. courier and postal services) to inform us of any data or security breaches that may have taken place. To identify any breaches involving document retention or security policies relating to confidential or secure materials by external consultants or other third parties that may have taken place would require a search across all the Department’s branches, which would incur a disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 05/02/2016 14:37:57 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab
