HL Deb 05 March 2001 vol 623 cc4-5WA
Lord Dholakia

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether funding will be available nationally to organisations acting as registered bodies under requirements of the Criminal Records Bureau. [HL739]

Lord Bassam of Brighton

The Criminal Records Bureau (CR B) project team is currently in touch with potential registered bodies, and we shall be prepared to consider views put to us as to whether some costs, such as those incurred by an "umbrella" body intending to act on behalf of smaller voluntary organisations, might be reimbursed.
