HC Deb 04 July 1996 vol 280 c515W
Mr. Barnes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to regulate the private security industry; and if he will make a statement. [34524]

Mr. Sackville

Our proposals for access to criminal records by employers will go a long way to meeting the need for adequate checks on those who want to work in the security industry. We have to be sure that any further measures—such as those recommended by the Home Affairs Select Committee—are justified and would not place an excessive burden on businesses.
