Boris Johnson has moved to calm fears over Olympic security after a Tory minister's daughter blew the whistle on lax vetting for staff.

The London mayor told the Andrew Marr Show this morning that London was "as well prepared as any city has ever been in the history of the Games" and that staff from security firm G4S were doing "a fantastic job" working the the military on security.

His remarks came after Claudia Blunt, daughter of Prisons Minister Crispin Blunt, told the Mail on Sunday that she and other staff were given fake documentation, not subjected to background checks and received only superficial safety training.
