To ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether officials in his Department who have lost laptops that were the property of his Department in the last 12 months have been charged the full value of replacement. (266231)

The Department for Transport includes seven agencies, a shared service centre and the central Department, with a total staff of over 19,000. We do not therefore have comprehensive records. Records held centrally however show that no members of staff have been charged for the replacement value of laptops lost in the last 12 months.
