Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 February 2025

Debate

Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 (Amendment) (Provision of Information) Order 2025

Contribution

There were valid questions from both Front-Bench spokespeople with regard to the assessment. I will first take the question of legal risk, which was party to both of their contributions. To go back to first base: the DBS was, until March 2024, sharing this information with the authorities that are in this order. It was sharing it with Guernsey, Jersey and the other police forces that I mentioned, therefore, to go back to the point made by the noble Lord, Lord Cameron, it had confidence that those organisations were capable, efficient and able to use that information in a proper and effective way.
