Post Office: Data Protection
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he plans to commission an independent investigation into the Post Office data breach in June 2024.
Answered by Gareth Thomas
These matters are the responsibility of the Post Office, although the Department for Business and Trade has made clear to them the very serious view which we take of this breach and the need to avoid similar failings in future. The Information Commissioner’s Office is responsible for independent oversight of data protection matters.
