Four CDs containing personal details from court cases have gone missing in the post, the government has admitted.
The Ministry of Justice launched an investigation when the data disappeared after being sent by recorded delivery.
A spokeswoman refused to say whether the discs contained details of at least 55 defendants and other restricted data, as reported in the Daily Mail.
It follows a series of incidents of missing data the biggest being the loss of 25m people's child benefit details.
According to the Daily Mail, the four CDs were posted on 15 December and potentially included the names and addresses of alleged victims and witnesses.
**Well so much for us all forgetting the data loss as Gordon Brown said we would. Another day another New Labour cock up.
