Lost child records: your views

Have your say after police are called in to help find computer discs containing personal details of every family in the country claiming child benefit which have gone missing.

The information was on two computer discs which were sent by unrecorded delivery by a junior member of staff at the Revenue and Customs to the National Audit Office. They never arrived.

The chairman of the HMRC board, Paul Gray, has resigned. The Chancellor, Alistair Darling, apologised to the Commons and has ordered an inquiry.

The discs contain names, addresses, dates of birth and bank and national insurance details of 25 million people, raising concerns over the risk of identity fraud.

Do you feel at risk by the security breach? Or is it a political storm in a teacup?
