David Lammy had lost a fourth mistakenly released prisoner in a hammer blow to the Justice Secretary.
Sources from the Ministry of Justice admitted the inmate was mistakenly released last week but now claim the convict has been re-arrested.
The revelation comes just days after Mr Lammy was grilled in the House of Commons about inmates being released by mistake.
Mr Lammy admitted three inmates were at large and conceded a fourth could be on the loose.
Following today's confirmation of a fourth mistakenly released inmate, Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick said: “Calamity Lammy didn’t know his Department had lost a prisoner for over a week. He’s asleep at the wheel.
“Since Lammy introduced his 'strongest ever checks' three prisoners have been mistakenly released.
"They’re failing and the British people are being put at risk on a nearly daily basis as a result. There’s never been a better time to be a criminal.
“How can the Prime Minister have any confidence in Lammy to keep the public safe?
“Why won’t Lammy be honest with the public and say who this prisoner was and what his criminal record is? Yet again he’s concealing the truth to limit his personal embarrassment.”
No10 was forced to admit earlier this week that it was "shocking" that 91 inmates have been wrongly released from prison since April this year.
