There are currently two cross-departmental review processes being run by the Cabinet Office. The first is focussed on National Security, refreshing the 2010 National Security Strategy and Strategic Defence and Security Review. The second is the Bribery and Corruption enforcement review.<\/p>

<\/p>

The next iteration of the National Security Strategy and the Strategic Defence and Security Review will cover reserved matters. The Cabinet Office plans to consult a wide range of stakeholders, including the Devolved Administrations.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Bribery and Corruption enforcement review has consulted widely, including with relevant agencies of the Devolved Administrations. These include the National Counter Corruption Unit of Police Scotland, and the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service.<\/p>

<\/p>

There are also a number of cross-departmental review processes being run, for example the \u2018Cutting Red Tape\u2019 programme and the Resilience Review. These reviews consult widely, including with relevant agencies of the Devolved Administrations where appropriate, usually via the Lead Government Departments.<\/p>

<\/p>

I will write to the Honourable Member in the Autumn to provide a more detailed update of the cross-departmental review processes being undertaken by the Cabinet Office, and will place a copy of this letter in the library of the House.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/247", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Oliver Letwin"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "West Dorset"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Oliver Letwin"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-07-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/389685/answer/previousversion/16272", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/247", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Oliver Letwin"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "West Dorset"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Oliver Letwin"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-07-21T17:15:23.767Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "53"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Cabinet Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Cabinet Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-07-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Government Departments: Reviews"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what cross-departmental reviews are being undertaken by his Department; and what the extent and nature of the engagement with the devolved administrations is for each such review.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4488", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Martyn Day"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Linlithgow and East Falkirk"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Martyn Day"} ], "uin" : "7169"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/389705", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "HM Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/389705/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The reason for the apparent discrepancy is that the documents refer to two separate figures in two separate budgets. Paragraph 2.113 of Budget 2015 allocated £75 million. Paragraph 2.47 of Summer Budget 2015 allocated a further £70 million of banking fines to military charities and good causes.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

This takes it to a total of £145m committed in this calendar year.<\/p>

The Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) requires every data controller who is processing personal information to register with the Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) unless they are exempt. Failure to do so is a criminal offence.<\/p>

<\/p>

The ICO has the ability to prosecute data controllers who process personal data having failed to notify in accordance with the DPA. A successful prosecution could result in a fine being imposed. The length of time that a data controller has failed to notify, and any financial benefit they have received from not paying the notification fees, is a factor that is taken into account by the Court when sentencing and setting the appropriate level of fine. There are no provisions in the Proceeds of Crime Act that would require someone to report to a court or anyone else that any profit has been made from the offence of processing personal data without being registered. If someone suspects that money laundering has occurred then the reporting obligations set out in the Money Laundering Regulations 2007 will, for example, apply.<\/p>

<\/p>

It is for data controllers to seek registration; the ICO periodically reminds organisations of the requirement to notify. Fee income has been increasing year on year with increasing numbers of notifications.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Ministry of Justice and the ICO are looking at the current funding model as part of negotiations on the proposed EU Data Protection Regulation.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4007", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dominic Raab"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Esher and Walton"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Dominic Raab"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-07-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "6947"} , {"_value" : "6948"} , {"_value" : "6949"} , {"_value" : "6951"} , {"_value" : "6952"} , {"_value" : "7446"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-07-22T10:07:55.627Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-07-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Data Protection"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of the extent of revenue that has been lost to the public purse in each of the last seven financial years as a result of data controllers who are required to notify or register under the Data Protection Act and pay a fee not doing so; and what steps he is taking to (a) recoup the losses to the public purse that have occurred and (b) prevent such further losses.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4457", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Ms Marie Rimmer"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "St Helens South and Whiston"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Marie Rimmer"} ], "uin" : "6938"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/389718", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/389718/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

To support connectivity in the South West, the government will allocate up to £10m to the broadband programme in the South West, commencing April 2016. The fund will be available for local projects to bid into, with priority given to those delivering ultrafast speeds of 100mbps and above. Broadband Delivery UK will start working with local projects immediately to determine the most effective way of delivering support.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

This scheme begins in the financial year 2016-17, budgets for this year and beyond will be set at the forthcoming Spending Review. Government is working to determine the most effective way of delivering support, with further details published in due course.<\/p>
