Vetting: Compensation

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much money has been paid in compensation to people for slow processing of Criminal Records Bureau checks.
Answer

The Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) makes financial awards to redress customers for its maladministration in accordance with Treasury policy. It calculates each award on the merit of the claim. Awards range from small consolatory payments for inconvenience, to larger sums representing actual loss. The CRB does not maintain separate statistics which distinguish delay from the other elements which merit an award.
