Ministry of Defence (MoD) legal papers are feared to have been stolen from a lawyer on a train journey from Leeds.

The solicitor, from law firm Eversheds, told police a suitcase containing the documents went missing as she travelled to London on Monday morning.

She was working for the Treasury Solicitor's Department, which provides legal advice to government ministries.

It is understood the documents were not classified secret. British Transport Police is trying to trace the suitcase.

It is not known what case the papers relate to, but an Eversheds partner has been appointed to act for the MoD in the upcoming public inquiry into the death of Iraqi civilian Baha Mousa in British military custody 2003.

1. Pretty soon...

it's going to be Latest Breaking News when someone connected with our government DOESN'T leave some top-secret documents or personal data on the train.

This is getting to be a habit. Parents will be soon telling their kids, "If you don't learn to take better care of your possessions, you'll end up working for the British Government!"

2. Oh, look at the bright side: at least they have mass rail transit to lose documents on!

Hey, didn't Sherlock Holmes investigate this case?
