It appears that Government officials have lost more sensitive files, on the same day Top Secret files on al-Qaeda were handed to the BBC, the Independent newspaper was given files which cover fighting global terrorist funding, drugs trafficking and money laundering A Treasury spokesman said the government was "extremely concerned". The Tories are calling for controls to protect secret official information.
The documents, about a meeting of financial crime experts, apparently include briefing notes for a meeting of the international Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to be held in 11 Downing Street next week.
The papers were found on train bound for London Waterloo on 11 June, the same day that another batch of papers relating to intelligence assessments of Iraq and al-Qaeda were handed to the BBC after being left by a senior official on a train.
The Cabinet Office and the Metropolitan Police launched inquiries into the documents handed into the BBC - the latest in a series of blunders involving sensitive official information.
These incidents and others like them are making us the laughing stock of the security world, I can’t see anybody doing business with at this rate, would you trust anybody who leaves your most furtive details around for anyone to see.
The people that we trust with details are the most highly paid in the Civil Service and for some reason instead of reading them in a secure location they take them home to read and leave them on the train, this is just incompetent how do people like this get jobs with such importantance, I wouldn’t trust these people to sweep the streets, sack the lot of them!
