The corporation is sending 437 people, including some freelancers, to cover this year's sporting event, which it says is 33 people more than covered the Olympics in Athens.

The BBC believes the files containing passport details, which were in Television Centre in west London, may have been stolen.

Internal security is being reviewed as a result of the incident.

A BBC spokesman said: "We can confirm that we are undertaking a full investigation into how two files containing accreditation information for the Beijing Olympics have gone missing from a private office in Television Centre.

"We believe these files may have been stolen, and following our own investigation, we have now involved the police.

"The information in the files includes passport details. However it does not include financial data and internal and external advice that we've taken suggests there is not a high risk of fraud.

"We are in the process of contacting everyone involved and are also reviewing our internal security as a matter of urgency."
