HC Deb 28 January 2000 vol 343 c380W
Mrs. Curtis-Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what requirement there will be for volunteers working within the cadet forces to be subject to checking with the Criminal Records Bureau. [106134]

Mr. Spellar

Adults currently working within the cadet forces will not be subject to check with the Criminal Records Bureau, as their suitability has already been assessed by my Department. The Criminal Records Bureau will carry out checks on new adult volunteers who wish to work within the cadet forces when this service is provided to the public and voluntary sector.
