HC Deb 25 March 1996 vol 274 c406W
Mr. Spellar

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what records are kept of individuals' criminal convictions. [22157]

Mr. Maclean

Information about criminal convictions for reportable offences, including all imprisonable and specified other offences, is held on the police national computer and in the record library of the national identification service. Local police forces may also keep this information together with information about convictions for non-reportable offences.
