Louise recieved a letter yesterday confirming that our details were amongst the 25million lost by the govenrment last week.
This is staggering incompetence, although we have become used to such things from this government. When we signed up to receive Child Benefit we were assured of the safety of the data we were providing.
Getting a letter from HMRC that tried to reassure us has done the opposite. I have no faith that the discs are still on government property and am still having to monitor our bank account very closely.
Gordon Brown has heaped pressure after pressure on HMRC, making them perform more tasks on a smaller budget. The Chancellor has proved he is no “safe pair of hands” either. There are a lot of questions that need answering.
Families, like mine, from across Norwich will not forget this blunder for a long time to come.

We haven't had the letter yet. Someone in government has probably lost it!
