Proceeding contribution from Lord West of Spithead (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 13 November 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Security Industry Authority.
Security Industry Authority
My Lords, I thank the noble Lord for his intervention. He is absolutely right. There is clear guidance now, and I believe the correct sort of vetting is undertaken. That is important for security firms, because back in 2003 the position was that there was a lot of uncertainty about their reliability and whether they could be used for certain jobs within government. Now that the SIA exists we have tightened up these loopholes. Things were going wrong in the past but we have sorted that out. That is good for the industry and for the nation.
