On Friday, The Sun reported that “sensitive” documents detailing the “layout and security measures” of MI6’s London headquarters have gone missing while construction giant Balfour Beatty carried out refurbishment work.
###
The missing documents were supposed to be held in a secure room by the construction firm while the renovations took place at the headquarters of the UK’s Secret Intelligence Service — better known as MI6 — the UK’s equivalent to the CIA.
###
Although not classified, the papers were deemed to be highly sensitive due to their content.
###
“To lose such sensitive documents was grossly irresponsible. The documents would be gold dust to any enemy agents or terrorists,” The Sun reported an unnamed source as saying.
###
Balfour Beatty’s contract to refurbish the building at Vauxhall Cross, south London, was terminated after the papers disappeared, The Sun reported.
###
The UK’s Foreign Office said it would not comment on intelligence matters.
###
CNN has reached out to Balfour Beatty for comment.
