Department for Work and Pensions: Email

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will set out a timetable for ensuring that all fax machines in (a) her Department and (b) its executive agencies are replaced with secure email.

Answer

DWP does not currently have a set timetable in place to reduce/remove the ability to send and receive fax messages.

However alternative, wider digital channels of communication will become available to customers & DWP colleagues that will naturally reduce the need to utilise faxes by viewing and sharing data information at source, under secure measures.
