To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much funding his Department has (a) budgeted for and (b) spent on software updates to legacy computer systems in each of the last three financial years.
Most of the systems within the Department for Transport and its agencies operate on the basis of updates being provided within the licence costs. As such, there is no specific budget or spend for updates.
The Department for Transport employs the Legacy IT Assessment Risk Framework, a standardised methodology designed by the Central Digital and Data Office, to assess the risks associated with legacy digital technology assets across His Majesty's Government. The highest category of risk within the framework is known as ‘red-rated’. This approach enables the Department for Transport to generate a prioritised overview of our legacy technology, clearly highlighting assets that necessitate remediation plans and the allocation of suitable funding for implementation.
At present, DfT(c) and its executive agencies have no red-rated systems and so we are providing a nil return.

The accounting systems track IT spend, but do not capture the level of detail to readily identify spend on Infrastructure or legacy systems. Determination of legacy IT will require more work, the Legacy Risk Assessment will be prepared and submitted to Cabinet by the end of the current Financial year. Currently, within our centrally managed Digital function, there is no legacy IT of any material size or value so spend in the last 3 years for legacy software patching would be zero.

On the app, the Secretary of State told us it was crucial and would be ready by mid-May. Experts warned him it would not work. He spent three months, wasted £12 million and has got nothing to show for it. It is a good job he is a tech-savvy expert on apps; otherwise, this would be a right shambles now, wouldn’t it?

On the contrary, ensuring that we use technology to its best possible effects is incredibly important. I would have thought that the shadow Secretary of State would want to side with and support the efforts of all those, including in the NHS, who are doing the work to ensure that we can get this up and running as quickly as possible.

The National Health Service COVID-19 app is new technology to assist with a well-established technique of contact tracing. It will work alongside the wider programme of Test and Trace, helping the country return safely to normality. The goal of the app is to reduce transmission of the virus by alerting people who may have been exposed to the virus so they can take action to protect themselves, the people they care about and the NHS.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how data from the NHS covid-19 contact-tracing app will be (a) used, (b) stored and (c) disposed of.
The data will only be used for National Health Service care, management, evaluation and research related to COVID-19. It will remain under the control of the Department and the NHS. Any companies working with the NHS are bound by robust contract and data processing agreements that specify how they use and store data. The data will be stored in a secure NHS data centre.
If users delete the app, all data stored on the phone and not already voluntarily shared with the Department or the NHS would be deleted. If users do not opt to share their data while the app remains on their phone, it will automatically be deleted on a continuous 28-day cycle within the app, on the phone.
Any data voluntarily shared with the NHS as part of the public health emergency, either proactively or as part of requesting a test, may be retained and used in the future for research in the public interest, or by the NHS for planning and delivering services, provided that doing so is in accordance with necessary legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation.
