Missing at No 10

Downing Street, known for its heavy security and armed guards, has had goods worth more than £102,000 go missing since Labour came to power, it emerged today.

The items which have been lost or stolen from one of the most secure addresses in Britain include computers, laptops, cameras and a minidisc player.

The details, given in a written reply to Opposition MPs, show that the cost of lost items has more than doubled since Labour came to power, from £15,290 to £33,574 last year.
