THOUSANDS of people in Wales had their personal details lost when a Ministry of Defence laptop was stolen a fortnight ago.
A total of 600,000 people were affected by the latest loss of data, with 37,546 coming from Wales.
They will all have expressed an interest in, or have joined, the Royal Navy, Royal Marines or the RAF.
The figure was obtained from a written question in the House of Commons.
