We'll, it seems the loss of the personal details of 25 million people wasn't the fault of any one individual, rather it was 'institutional deficiencies'.
The Poynter report does not blame individual officials, but highlights "serious institutional deficiencies" at HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
Chancellor Alistair Darling told MPs action was already being taken to improve data security.
The Tories said the report and another by the Independent Police Complaints Commission were "truly devastating".
Shadow Chancellor George Osborne said they highlighted "incompetence and systemic failure at the heart of this government".
They were "a guide to how not to govern this country", he added. |
