The Cabinet Office has suspended the civil servant at the centre of an inquiry into the loss of top-secret documents on al-Qaeda and Iraq.

The unnamed Cabinet Office employee was questioned in an internal inquiry after the sensitive papers were left on a train seat and handed to the BBC.

Home Office Minister Tony McNulty said the documents contained information “we don’t want our enemies to know”.

Home Secretary Jacqui Smith now faces demands for an official inquiry.

Keith Vaz MP, chairman of the powerful Home Affairs select committee told the BBC: “Such confidential documents should be locked away… they should not be read on trains.

I mean after all the lost cd’s, laptops and secret files how can we trust them to look after all our data thats needed for id cards.
