§ Mr. WebbTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many cases of computer misuse there were in her Department in(a) 1997 and (b) 2003, broken down by category of misuse; and how many of those cases resulted in disciplinary action. [163247]
§ Ms HewittIn 2003 there were four cases of computer misuse notified to the DTI Human Resources and Change Management Conduct and Discipline Team. Three of these cases involved the distribution of inappropriate material and the fourth the accessing of inappropriate internet sites. Disciplinary action was taken in all four cases.
Figures for 1997 are not available. 1997 information is not maintained as this is outside the normal retention period for disciplinary cases.
