Written question asked by David Wright (Labour) on Wednesday, 5 November 2014, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Friday, 7 November 2014. It was answered by David Gauke (Conservative) on Monday, 17 November 2014 on behalf of the Treasury.

Fujitsu

Question: To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what data on UK taxpayers is held by Fujitsu; and where the relevant data centre is.

Answer

Fujitsu provide data centre hosting for many of HM Revenue and Customs' (HMRC) IT systems at multiple UK locations but they do so on HMRC's behalf and do not hold any data outside of the Department's direct control. HMRC ensure all of our systems are appropriately controlled so that IT providers do not have routine access to taxpayer information.

For security reasons we are unable to share the specific location of Fujitsu/HMRC data centres.
