As for the 'encrypted electronic' v 'paper' debate. It is my suspicion that paper files of this type (although this incident may suggest the contrary) are traditionally easier to account for, store, and control, than electronic copies.
Indeed and no doubt the primary reason why MI5 are only just getting around to transferring their vast archives of paper intelligence assets to electronic systems!

As customers of becrypt like many other central govt functions and the MoD (being CAPS assured to Top Secret) I would hope that the cabinet office are extensively putting it to good use.
