Student sent Brown's travel plans

A security review has been launched after one of Gordon Brown's bodyguards sent details of the Prime Minister's movements to a student's mobile phone.

Tom Dyer, 19, from Pembrokeshire, told the Sun newspaper that he received four voicemail messages and a text revealing Mr Brown's travel timetable.

The messages - meant for one of the PM's aides - gave precise information about a train he was due to take.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "The officer made an honest mistake."

The newspaper reported that the time, platform and carriage of a train Mr Brown was planning to catch from London's Paddington Station for a trip to Bristol on 6 September were sent to Mr Dyer's phone.
