Mr. Hope: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on his plans for regulation of club and
pub doormen. [156038]
Mr. Charles Clarke: The Private Security Industry Bill provides for the establishment of a Security Industry Authority which will
have responsibility for licensing individuals employed in designated sectors of the security industry, including door supervisors.
The Authority will be responsible for establishing a licensing regime for all door supervisors. This will involve setting national
criteria, in consultation with the police, industry and local authorities, which will be used in deciding whether to grant a
licence. Initially the criteria will involve a criminal record check, but it is envisaged that over time additional criteria
relating to training and similar issues will be imposed. This aim is to ensure that only fit and proper people receive licences to
operate as door supervisors. Those who do not meet the published criteria will be refused licences.

Mr. Charles Clarke: [holding answer 6 April 2001]:
The Criminal Records Bureau will begin to issue Standard and Enhanced Disclosures later in the current financial year. It is
anticipated that demand will be at a low level initially, and will build up. Basic disclosures will not begin to be issued before
the 2002-03 financial year. Cost and business projections have been based on the following levels of demand during this and the next
financial year:
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
2001-02 2002-03
Enhanced disclosures 1,216,751 3,182,690
Standard disclosures 109,526 296,590
Basic disclosures 0 2,786,350
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
Estimated total revenues, and the estimated total cost of operating the Bureau, during the same two years are as follows:
£
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
2001-02 2002-03
Estimated total revenues 12,655,727 63,430,902
Estimated total cost 48,277,786 80,425,047
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
On the best information available, we anticipate that, despite the low level of income initially, progressively higher income will
enable recovery of the full cost of establishing and operating this new service to be achieved within a period of five years.

Miss Widdecombe: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action he is taking to ensure that information held by
the Criminal Records Bureau is as accurate as possible before checks become available to employers; and if he will make a statement.
[157171]
Mr. Charles Clarke: The Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) will rely on a number of data sources, according to the nature of the case.
The CRB has been liaising with all those responsible for the data sources in question. We fully recognise, and entirely share,
concerns that have been expressed about delays in inputting data on to the Police National Computer, and errors and omissions in
some of the data. Indeed, these were highlighted by reports commissioned by the Government. We have been working closely with the
Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC), the Police Information
Technology Organisation (PITO), the Information Commissioner and other concerned parties to tackle these problems. Police forces are
now working to a compliance strategy that has been drawn up by ACPO. This sets quantified performance indicators for key aspects of
both quality and timeliness, including the prompt inputting of data both in the initial stages of a case and following the
conclusion of trial proceedings. There are also agreed programmes to tackle backlogs. Performance data for all forces are being
routinely collected by PITO, and HMIC will be auditing performance. HMIC will be disseminating to all forces, through conferences
and other means, information on good practice in relation to business processes in order to eradicate avoidable delays. Work is also
being undertaken to produce revised protocols for weeding out old records, and the development by PITO of programs for the automated
implementation of these protocols will be given priority.

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.

Mr. Charles Clarke: On the assumption that the person's role was unpaid and entailed working in a school or unsupervised access to
children, the person would be eligible for a high level disclosure which would be free of charge.
