The Parole Board is being told to take more care in future

A board member lost a USB stick which contained the names and details of 37 offenders and one victim, on a plane three weeks ago,

The lost drive was reported to Air New Zealand, however it hasn't been located.

National Party justice spokesperson Simon Bridges says the board should consider if there are better ways to handle this kind of information.

He says you can see how this happened, but at the same time they need to shape up and make things better.
