'Many questions' about how Afghan data leak happened, minister says

The leader of the House of Commons Lucy Powell has given her reaction to the news that more than 100 Brits were included in a major data leak from Afghanistan, including intelligence personnel.

She told Sky’s Sophy Ridge that the latest update is "very concerning".

"But I think this is just further evidence of how serious this incident was."
