Subject: More Data Lost by the British Government
Written By: Philip Eno on 12/17/07 at 11:29 am
The details of three million candidates for the driving theory test have gone missing, Ruth Kelly has told MPs.
Names, addresses and phone numbers - but not financial data - were among details on a computer hard drive which went missing in the US in May.
It belonged to a contractor to the Driving Standards Agency, the transport secretary told MPs.
It is the latest in a series of data losses since discs with 25m people's details on were lost by HM Revenue.
Earlier the chancellor told MPs there was no evidence of fraud after the loss of the child benefit data by Revenue and Customs in October.

That is the answer I am waiting for.
I can understand it being lost in a Wine Bar in Pimlico, but the USA!

Reckon that when the guy saw a CD marked "Driver disk", he took it with him on holiday, just in case anything needed reinstalling ;)
