§ Lord Haleasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they are satisfied with the provisions for the regular maintenance of lists of persons employed in private enterprise police operations, with reference especially to their use of arms.
§ Lord EltonWe are not aware of any such lists. Private security personnel have no rights or privileges beyond those possessed by ordinary citizens, who are not granted firearm certificates for security or protection purposes.
§ Lord Haleasked Her Majesty's Government:
What regulations now provide for compulsory insurance of persons employed by private enterprise 708WA on police or security operations; and what information is supplied in support of character references by applicants for such employment.
§ Lord EltonWe are not aware of any regulations providing for compulsory insurance of such persons. The supply of information in support of character references is a matter for the prospective employer and employee concerned.
