answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2022 answer text <p>No assessment has been made of the financial impact on applicants to UK Security Vetting of waiting periods for security clearance.</p><p>The purpose of National Security Vetting is to help safeguard National Security. Waiting periods for security clearance are driven by the time required to gather information from a range of sources on an applicant and the subsequent analysis of this information. Waiting times therefore vary accordingly.</p><p>Advice is provided to applicants that this process can take some time to complete. I am unable to comment further on the financial impact that this essential security control may have.</p><p>Work is ongoing within Cabinet Office to modernise and improve the effectiveness of vetting overall, in line with the Government’s wider modernisation agenda and to keep pace with the threats faced by the UK today. The modernisation aims to improve the end to end user experience for the applicant and sponsoring department and improve the speed of applications.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 16/05/2022 16:10:41 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
