UK ministers face lost data scandal

Sunday, 7 September 2008

In the UK, ministers are facing the fallout from another scandal over lost data.

A hard-drive containing the details of 5,000 prison officers has been mislaid by a private computing firm.

It took EDS more than a year to realise it was even missing.

There is speculation within the Prison Officers' Association that someone is guilty of a cover-up.

British Justice Secretary Jack Straw has ordered an inquiry.

Columnist Comments

• Gritty, moving and heroic...Billy plays captured life here

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... Sunday's 30th anniversary screening of the seminal Too Late to Talk to Billy was riveting viewing. But it wasn't nostalgic viewing.

• Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

• Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.

Teenage boys love horror films and I have two who are in charge of the remote control in our house, so naturally there’s gore-a-plenty on the box most weekends. However, until recently one film was banned.
