Scotland Office written question – answered at on 25 March 2015.
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, which news applications staff in his Department are authorised to download and use on their work-provided phones and tablets.
The Scotland Office uses an information technology system (SCOTS) operated by the Scottish Government. The Scottish Government is responsible for all hardware/software procurement, administration, support, maintenance and security of the system. Under its IT policy the downloading of ‘apps’ is prohibited, all functions that would allow the user to do so are blocked and therefore no ‘apps’ can be added to work-provided phones or tablets.
