Personal details of a further three million UK citizens has been lost by the government, according to transport secretary Ruth Kelly.

The names, phone numbers and addresses of three million candidates for the driving theory test have been lost by a contractor to the Driving Standards Agency. The data was lost on a hard disk in the US in May of this year, by the Iowa-based contractor.

The hard disk contained the details of people who had taken the theory test between September 2004 and April 2007. Kelly claims that those affected have not yet been contacted by the government.
