    The mobile phone and laptop of Conservative defence spokesman Liam Fox were stolen this morning after his London flat was burgled.


According to Reuters, the break-in meant Fox, a Somerset North prospective parliamentary candidate, had to cancel an early morning media briefing where he had been due to launch the opposition party's manifesto for the armed forces.


A Scotland Yard spokesman said: “Officers are currently in attendance there, it will be investigated by the burglary squad at Southwark.” It was confirmed that there had been no arrests.


Tory sources told BBC News that briefing documents were not stolen but were unable to say what was on the laptop.
