Home Office

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if he will announce the fees to be charged for disclosures issued by the Criminal Records Bureau. - Inc figure and ref to 362 c504-5W.

Answer: Mr. Andy King: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will announce the fees to be charged for disclosures issued by the Criminal Records Bureau. [156867] Mr. Charles Clarke: I announced on 6 February 2001, Official Report, column 504W, that Standard and Enhanced Disclosures would be issued free of charge to volunteers, but that work was continuing on the general fee levels. We have now completed that task. As I have made it clear, it remains our intention that the Bureau will be self-financed by means of the charges that it makes, but we have been determined to keep fees as low as possible. We propose to charge a fee of £12 per disclosure. Regulations will be laid in due course.
