To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 13 May 2024 to Question 25013 on Ministry of Justice: ICT, for what reason his Department considers publishing the latest available figures on the number of red-rated systems it holds a security risk, in the context of the publication of the Central Digital & Data Office's guidance entitled, Guidance on the Legacy IT Risk Assessment Framework on 29 September 2023.

In response to question 25013, the department responded with a cautionary response to withhold releasing information on the red-rated systems due to potential security risks. However, upon revising our previous response we have concluded that we are able to release the requested figures.

These figures are already in the public domain and can be found on slide 21 of the CDDO progress update below:
