Secret file left on Eurostar in security gaffe
BREXIT documents including emails from Theresa May were left on a Eurostar service in a security blunder.
A file belonging to the Prime Minister’s top EU adviser, Olly Robbins, containing “Cabinet-level briefings” and correspondence with the PM was found on a Brussels to London train. An intelligence official said: “It was sensitive material and could have been damaging if it had ended up in the wrong hands.”
A retired teacher from Doncaster, South Yorks, found the file in May and alerted officials at the Brexit Department. Staff then rushed to collect it. The source said: “There was an internal investigation because it was deemed to be an internal security breach.”
