HC Deb 11 December 2000 vol 359 c58W
Mr. Brady

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he will publish an impact assessment survey of proposals to require vetting of volunteer leaders and workers with youth organisations by the Criminal Records Bureau. [141701]

Mr. Charles Clarke

I hope to do so before the end of February 2001. The assessment will cover the impact of the proposals on the voluntary and private sectors.

Mr. Brady

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what estimate he has made of the annual cost to youth organisations which will arise from charges for vetting volunteer leaders and workers by the Criminal Records Bureau. [141700]

Mr. Charles Clarke

We are currently refining our estimates of both the likely volume of demand from the voluntary sector and for the services to be offered by the Criminal Records Bureau, and the cost of providing these services. These factors will be taken into account in setting the fees to be charged by the Bureau, which will be announced as soon as possible.
