Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what information her Department holds on the average processing time for Disclosure and Barring Service checks conducted through Sussex Police.

Asked by:
James MacCleary (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) is operationally independent from the Home Office. Accordingly, the Home Office does not hold the information requested on the average processing time for DBS checks conducted through Sussex Police.

My officials have asked the DBS to write to you to provide you with the information you have requested.
