A Conservative MP has defended her cyber-security arrangements after revealing she shares her login passwords with all her staff.

Nadine Dorries said this included "interns on exchange programmes", triggering a backlash on Twitter.

In response, she said she was a backbench MP who did not have access to government documents.

The Mid Bedfordshire MP had been defending Conservative First Secretary of State Damian Green.

A Cabinet Office inquiry is examining claims pornography was found on a computer in Mr Green's Parliamentary office.

He denies watching or downloading pornography on his computer.

Ms Dorries was questioning a retired police officer's claim that Mr Green must have been responsible for material found on his computer.
