The details of three million learner drivers have gone missing,Ruth Kelly has told parliamentarians. The British Transport Secretary said the names, addresses and Phone numbers of theory test candidates were among details on a computer hard drive which went missing in the United States in May.
Unlike the recent data loss scandal at HM Revenue and Customs, bank account details did not go astray.
Kelly had been expected to make a statement about the loss of more than 7,000 motorists’ details by the Northern Ireland Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA) which emerged last week, but was forced to admit that a more serious breach had since been unearthed.
