§ Mr. Harrisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department on what grounds he is opposing the request by the Association of District Councils that the police should disclose records of convictions of persons who apply to district councils for licences to drive taxis and private hire cars.
§ Mr. Giles ShawPolice records of criminal convictions are treated as confidential and access to them is given only on the grounds of national security, the protection of particularly vulnerable members of society, and the need to ensure complete probity in the administration of the law.
