HC Deb 14 November 1988 vol 140 c394W
Mr. Menzies Campbell

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action he is taking to ensure the safety of his Department's computer from penetration by computer hackers.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

A number of measures are in place to protect my Department's computers from unauthorized access, which obviously it would not be sensible to make public. Hacking and other aspects of risk to IT systems are kept under review, and additional precautions will be taken if judged to be necessary.
