Data on 5,000 prison staff lost

A hard drive containing the details of up to 5,000 prison staff has been lost, the government has confirmed.

The names, dates of birth, national insurance numbers and prison service numbers were lost by a private firm EDS as long ago as July 2007.

However, staff only realised the data was missing in July of this year.

Justice Secretary Jack Straw confirmed he has ordered an inquiry into the loss and was trying to establish why he was not told of it by the Prison Service.
