Body:
Three times in recent months, HMRC has lost sensitive data belonging to citizens. In both cases, it is claimed that HMRC employees did not follow established procedures, something that has been feared and predicted in open discussion in the media. It is hoped that the Government reviews currently being carried out will not be hampered by preconceived ideas or by its terms which prevent any suggestion of "systemic" failure – an obviously uncomfortable conclusion.
