1 The "server" was a PAC server. This device acts as an interface for web based browsing and held a look-up list of users who were permitted Internet access in non-permanent memory (with a 24 hour back-up battery).

24 January 2002, Official Report, column 1071W, on stolen equipment, whether the computer equipment stolen from her Department was (a) new and unused and (b) used; and what was the nature of the data stored on such items in each case. [42639]

Ms Hewitt

The following table identifies whether the IT equipment identified as stolen from my Department in my previous answer was new or used. In addition and where known, the table also shows the nature of the data held on the stolen equipment.

Unitas report for 1 April 2001 to January 2002 New/used Data status
5 MURA laptops 3 new No DTI data
1 used Test system; no live data present
1 used Data encrypted including temporary work areas
1 other laptop — Non DTI equipment
3 PCs 2 new No DTI data
1 used No DTI data stored locally; all held on servers
Flat screen Used Device does not store data

Where the equipment is shown as not belonging to DTI, it would have held software and data belonging to the owning company rather than DTI.
