Prison data lost

JUSTICE Secretary Jack Straw yesterday ordered an inquiry after a computer hard-drive containing the personal details of 5,000 prison officers in England and Wales went missing.

The loss of the data by private computing firm EDS was reported to the Prison Service in July, but it was not until yesterday that Straw was informed of the problem.

It was reported the hard-drive contains names, dates of birth, National Insurance numbers and Prison Service employee numbers.
