Well, it would be necessary to send it on CDs if someone requested it. Although if they couldn't have affored the £5000 (?) to delete some of the not-requested information, they should have been able to afford a few extra pounds to send it recorded.

Why would it be necessary to send it on CD? Government departments are connected via fibre networks these days so they could have just backed up the database to a single gzip file, encrypted the file and password protected it, and then ftp'd it to the destination. There is no reason for sending such sensitive data by mail these days.

But, if there really was no other way then you don't use a standard postal service anyway. You send it by courier!

Is that the local indian take away delivery service? They didn't use Royal mail which is a slight bonus but they used TNT instead. May as well have used snail mail (taping the CD's to a snail and hoping they get there).
