The Defence Vetting Agency (DVA)—now Defence Business Services National Security Vetting—was launched in 1997. Prior to that, Ministry of Defence clearances were awarded by a central MoD body for civilians and single service vetting units for military clearances. At the time DVA was established appropriate historic cases were transferred to the DVA database on a bulk basis, so it is not possible to identify clearances awarded by year prior to this date.
For the purpose of this Question, positive and developed vetting (DV) are the same clearance. DV clearance replaced positive vetting (top secret) around 1995. The data are collected by financial year, are only for MoD civilian, defence industry and military personnel and is taken from the DVA annual reports. Copies of the DVA annual reports for 2005 and 2010 are available in the Library of the House.

The MOD's vetting organisation already provides services to a wide range of other Government Departments and police forces. It is the largest single provider of vetting services and has developed an electronic vetting capability to further improve efficiency and effectiveness. We continue to discuss with the Cabinet Office and other organisations whether additional benefits could be driven from consolidating all of the provision of vetting into a single organisation, but no decision has been taken at this time. It should be noted that a change in structure in October 2011 resulted in the Defence Vetting Agency becoming part of Defence Business Services and being renamed National Security Vetting. The role remains the same and a key priority is to widen further DBS-NSV's customer base across Government Departments and other public bodies.
