Lost In Transit

Yesterday I commented on the Government’s latest data-loss debacle. Today David Jones MP has a must-read post on the same issue. Here’s the important bit:

It must also be asked why confidential British data were being stored in a foreign jurisdiction, where different data protection laws prevail, and beyond the reach of the British courts. Last year, I tabled a series of Parliamentary questions on the storage of online computer data to a number of Whitehall departments. All denied that any data were stored in foreign jurisdictions. I must dust off the answers, to see whether any of them may have been less than totally frank.

Quite.
