Government exposes addresses of new year honours recipients
Cabinet Office apologises after details of more than 1,000 people posted online in error
More than 1,000 celebrities, government employees and politicians who received honours in the new year list have had their home and work addresses posted on a government website, the Guardian can reveal.
The accidental disclosure of a tranche of personal details of those being celebrated for their service to British society is likely to be considered a major security breach, particularly as senior police and Ministry of Defence staff were among those whose potentially sensitive addresses were made public.
