answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/10/2019 answer text <p>For National Security Vetting purposes, Government policy does not define the terms ‘overthrowing’ or ‘undermining’ in any manner more explicit than the terms already indicate. The question asked of vetting candidates refers to ‘political, industrial or violent means’ and this offers context for prospective candidates to understand what types of activities are being referred to.</p><p>There are too many hypothetical examples for a comprehensive list to be feasible. Each candidate is assessed on a case by case basis, giving due regard to the guidance offered by the classified Vetting Decision Framework. Where candidates disclose a potentially adverse association of any kind, assessment of their suitability to hold a security clearance will take into account:</p><ol><li><p>the nature and closeness of the association in question;</p></li><li><p>the self-stated or privately stated aims of individuals or organisations that wish to replace the United Kingdom’s current parliamentary political system; and</p></li><li><p>the assessments of relevant agencies involved in investigating or monitoring such individuals or organisations.</p></li></ol><p>An example of ‘undermining parliamentary democracy’ would be if the vetting candidate disclosed that a family member had historic links to violent extremist groups.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hertsmere answering member printed Oliver Dowden question first answered 07/10/2019 11:41:05 answering member 4441 label Biography information for Oliver Dowden

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/09/2019 answer text <p>All civil servants and special advisers who are subject to National Security Vetting are asked the following three questions as part of the clearance process:</p><p>“Have you ever been involved in actions intended to overthrow or undermine Parliamentary democracy by political, industrial or violent means?”</p><p>“Have you ever been a member of, or supported, a group or groups involved in any of the above activities?”</p><p>“Have you ever had a close association with anyone, including a member of your family, who, to your knowledge, has been a member of or given active support to any such group or activities?”</p><p>National Security Vetting is a prerequisite for employment in a large subset of Civil Service roles, including sensitive posts and special advisers. For less sensitive roles that do not require vetting, these assurances are not asked of prospective candidates.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 30/09/2019 08:58:15 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
