| The information watchdog Richard Thomas has said that since the uproar over the missing HM Revenue and Customs computer discs, a number of private and public bodies have come to him on a "confessional basis" to say they think they have found a security problem in their own organisations. He said none seemed to be on the same scale as the HMRC breach. But, he told MPs on the Justice Committee, he thought there was still "more to come out in the wash".

| Dolly Parton has been given recognition at Westminster ... for helping tackle literacy in America. Two Liberal Democrat MPs have tabled a Commons motion praising the Country and Western singer for her "Imagination Library" which has given away 12 million free books to pre-school children over the last 12 years. John Barrett and Paul Holmes say the scheme has helped encourage reading in the US, and they are welcoming the launch of a UK version.

| The former Sports Minister Richard Caborn is condemning the decision to stop England's women's football team representing Britain in next year's Olympics in Beijing. The idea had the support of the Government, but moves to enter an England team were blocked by the Football Associations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. A fresh attempt will be made to ensure there is a U-K representative when the Olympics comes to London in 2012. Richard Caborn told MPs that it was a "national scandal".

| One of Britain's top City Academies is being condemned for offering cut price carpets to its teachers. The Harris group of colleges was founded by the Conservative peer Philip Harris, the chairman of Carpetright. Labour MP Ken Purchase says he's "dismayed" at the practice, which he claims has been made to "recruit and retain staff". He has tabled a Commons motion, saying it "demeans the ethos of the education service". He describes it as "a regrettable consequence of handing over the ownership and management of schools to people unsuited to the serious responsibility of educating young people".
