Civil servants recruited to my Department are subject to the Civil Service Code of Standards & Behaviour which outlines that in the course of their duties honesty, impartiality and integrity must be paramount.

On commencing duty officials are presented with a suite of documents relating to their employment one of which is an I.C.T. Usage Policy which outlines the conditions they must adhere to in using the Department’s I.T. equipment.

No official at my Department has been subjected to restrictive access to files or had access to email restricted or revoked as part of a disciplinary process in the period stated in the Deputy’s question.
