Data Entry

Question
To ask Her Majesty's Government further to the Written Answer by the Lord Bach on 25 February (WA 86–87), whether Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform has set an overall standard for errors in data entry and processing; and, if so, what is that standard.
Answer

The department does not set an overall standard for data entry and processing. These are set at system design stage on an application by application basis and it would normally be up to each individual organisation to set these to meet its needs.
