Starmer says Tories must answer ‘serious questions’ on MoD data leak
- Sir Keir Starmer says the Conservatives have “serious questions to answer” over a major data breach at the Ministry of Defence.
- The breach put nearly 100,000 Afghans at risk from the Taliban, and Sir Keir has called it a failing passed to the Labour government.
- Details of a post-breach relocation scheme for over 16,000 Afghans, costing £7 billion, were released on Tuesday after a super-injunction was lifted.
- Sir Keir made his remarks before facing Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch at Prime Minister's Questions.
