Private Security Companies

HC Deb 23 July 1985 vol 83 c452W

Mr. Dubs

asked the Minister for the Civil Service how staff of private security companies are vetted when working for Government Departments.

Mr. Hayhoe

It is the responsibility of individual Government Departments to ensure the suitability of any private company and its employees for work on their behalf. It would not be appropriate to give details of the steps taken to do so.
