Ministers face a grilling by MPs today on how documents containing details of a sensitive navy ship deployment in the Black Sea were found at a bus stop.

The Ministry of Defence has acknowledged that the loss of the documents was reported by an employee last week, after an anonymous member of the public told the BBC they found 50 pages of classified information in Kent.
