In the vast majority of cases (95%), disclosure certificates are issued within 8 weeks (2015/16).</p><p>Criminal record certificates issued by the Disclosure and Barring Service do not expire after a specific period of time and do not include a renewal date. A certificate has no set period of validity. Information revealed through a Disclosure and Barring Service check reflects the information that was available at the time of its issue. Disclosure certificates are primarily designed to be used by an employer at the point of recruitment for a particular position.</p><p>Some roles and some employers require the person concerned to “renew” their Disclosure and Barring Service check at specific intervals. The person can do that either by applying for a new certificate or by using the Disclosure and Barring Service Update Service.</p><p>It would not be appropriate to comment on specific cases, but there are a number of factors which can affect the timely completion of checks. These include the length of time if can take for an employer to deal with the initial application, the accurate completion of the application form, the clarity of the information provided, the existence of conviction or non-conviction information, legal challenges and the operational effectiveness of the disclosure units of the police forces involved, if any, in the enhanced process. In some cases, forces will ask Disclosure and Barring Service to clarify some details provided by the applicant which requires further investigation and this can cause further delays.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning grouped question UIN 42590 42591 question first answered 18/07/2016 09:18:28 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the scope of police powers to freeze company assets encompasses a company domain name; what provisions exists for such a domain name to be renewed if it was frozen during a police investigation; who is permitted to renew such a name where a company under investigation has no access to its assets; and what recourse a company has to regain its domain name if it was lost during the course of a police investigation.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/09/2015 answer text <p>The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 permits an application for a restraint order to be made to “freeze” the property of an alleged offender and has the effect of freezing realisable property that may be liable to a later confiscation order. The Act defines realisable property as any free property held by the defendant including any intangible or incorporeal property. The intellectual property rights in a domain name could fall within this definition and so a restraint order would be available. A company is a separate legal entity to its shareholders and directors and so a restraint order against realisable property held by a company would only be available where the alleged offender was that company. The terms of the restraint order prevent the alleged offender from dealing with their realisable property. Whilst property is under restraint, the judge may, depending on the circumstances of the case, exempt property which is required for legitimate business purposes to enable a person to carry on any trade, profession or occupation, for example, to enable continued use of a domain name.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 17/09/2015 11:27:11 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
