To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when his Department plans to close its TikTok account.
Mike Freer
Assistant Whip, The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice
The Ministry of Justice does not have, and never has had, an operational TikTok account. Two TikTok account names were acquired for security reasons to ensure another person/party is not able to use them posing as the Ministry of Justice. The accounts have never been used and so there are no current plans to close them. They have zero followers, follow zero accounts, have zero likes and have not shared any content. Staff do not access them.
The account names are:
Yes1 person thinks so
No0 people think not

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
