To ask the Secretary of State for Justice if he will issue guidance on when a sentence issued at a summary hearing within the armed forces becomes spent under the National Police Records (Recordable Offences) Regulations; and if he will make a statement.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice if he will issue guidance on when a sentence issued at a summary hearing within the armed forces becomes spent under the National Police Records (Recordable Offences) Regulations; and if he will make a statement.
The National Police Records (Recordable Offences) Regulations 2000 provide for the recording in national police records of convictions. It is current police policy to retain all information relating to cautions and convictions on the police national computer until the subject reaches 100 years of age, for police operational reasons and in the interest of the prevention and detection of crime.
Rehabilitation periods for sentences, including for sentences specific to the service justice system (eg detention or dismissal) are set out in the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, A finding at Summary Hearing within the armed forces that a charge has been proved is treated as a conviction, and any sentence imposed by the commanding officer is treated as a sentence, for the purposes of the 1974 Act.
There is no separate guidance on convictions for service offences, as they are treated in the same way as ‘civilian’ offences. The same rehabilitation periods apply to sentences which are imposed in the service justice system as are imposed by the civilian justice system. In addition, there are specific rehabilitation periods for sentences of dismissal and service detention. However, some advice for service personnel has been included in revised guidance on the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 which will be published shortly.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change if he will make it his policy that any company involved in illegal blacklisting should not be awarded a Nuclear Decommissioning Authority contract.
The awarding of contracts by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) is an operational matter for the authority. Contracts are awarded in full compliance with the Public Contract Regulations 2006. These set out the criteria on which a company may be excluded from a tender process.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment she has made of the effect of changes to Criminal Records Bureau checks on taxi drivers.
[holding answer 10 February 2014]: In October, the London Taxi Drivers Association and some larger mini cab firms raised concerns about the delays experienced by some of their members applying for criminal record checks issued by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
In response, the DBS undertook to actively follow up with local police forces any application from a taxi driver delayed beyond 45 days. Since being put in place last October, these measures have reduced the number of delayed DBS applications from taxi drivers. The DBS continues to monitor the situation closely.
