Proceeding contribution from Lord Hanson of Flint (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 5 June 2019. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Rehabilitation of Offenders.


Rehabilitation of Offenders

The Justice Committee has produced a report that recommends “banning the box”, to deal with the issue of spent convictions, and the Government gave a very positive response. There may be occasions when there is a crossover between an individual who might apply for a job in the public sector and somebody who is covered by an inquiry. I just want to get the Minister’s take on that particular point.
