The British government downplayed allegations Friday of a security risk after it was reported that Prime Minister Boris Johnson's cellphone number was openly available on the internet for 15 years.

Celebrity website Popbitch revealed that the number was on a think-tank press release from 2006, when Johnson was an opposition lawmaker and the Conservative Party's higher education spokesman.

The government denied there was a security lapse. Home Office minister Victoria Atkins insisted that the prime minister "knows his responsibilities when it comes to national security." and she criticized media for revealing the fact that the number was in the public domain. "Part of what makes the prime minister special is that he is an incredibly approachable individual," Sunak said.
