Justice secretary Jack Straw has been accused of letting EDS get away with " a slap on the wrist" after losing a hard drive containing sensitive personal data on prison staff. ... In a Commons statement on the outcome of the inquiry Straw revealed that the hard drive contained bank details, addresses, National Insurance numbers and dates of birth on 256 staff, and not 5,000 as originally reported. ... Liberal Democrat justice spokesman David Howarth added: "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."Source: Computing
