Data Loss Shows That the Government Can’t Be Trusted With Personal Data

Commenting on Jack Straw’s admission that a computer disk lost by the National Offender Management Service contained 256 items of ‘sensitive personal information’, Liberal Democrat Justice Spokesperson, David Howarth said: “It says a lot that it is considered good news when it is revealed that hundreds of people, rather than thousands, have had their sensitive personal information lost.”

David Howarth went on to say:

“If the Government can’t be trusted to keep the personal data of its own employees safe, why should it be trusted to store our details on the ID cards database?”
