Dr Al Pinkerton (Surrey Heath) (LD)
My constituent, Richard, has been unable to work for four months because of Disclosure and Barring Service delays. Things are getting desperate at home, and he faces the prospect of defaulting on his mortgage this month. There has been a 10-month delay from the point of application to now. Will one of the Front-Bench team look at his case in particular, to help him out, but also try to take a hand of the DBS more generally?
Sarah Jones
I am certainly happy to look at that particular case. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman could write to me and I will look into it.
