PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
VOLUNTEERS AND THE CRIMINAL RECORDS BUREAU (20 January 1999)
Motion Details
That this House recognises the enormous contribution made by the four million volunteers in Britain; welcomes the Government's decision to set up a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) to manage police checks on those who work with vulnerable people; recognises that the financial burden of paying for their own checks may deter many disadvantaged potential volunteers; and calls on the Government to consider making checks on volunteers free when it is affordable to do so.
