Business of the House

Business question from Ian Cawsey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 March 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
May we have a debate on the operation of the Criminal Records Bureau? The problem is not just the long delays in dealing with constituents' mail. My right hon. and learned Friend might not have heard the recent "File on 4" programme, which revealed that up to 2,500 teachers who have had allegations made against them and been totally cleared still have the details on their CRB file. People in certain occupations are open to vexatious complaints, and when they are totally cleared, surely that stain should be removed from their file.
