Updated on 01 December 2007
Police looking for the two missing data discs containing sensitive data of millions of people have searched rubbish tips in London, Scotland Yard said.
The discs, containing 25 million child benefit claimants' personal details, went missing when a junior official sent them by courier in the internal mail from the Child Benefit office in Washington, Tyne and Wear, to the National Audit Office in London on October 18.
It is believed police fear the discs may have accidentally been thrown out as rubbish.
