Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the ICIBI annual report 2016 to 2017, published on 13 July 2017, what plans she has to improve the accuracy of the data in her Department's disqualified persons list.
The accuracy of the disqualified person data is subject to rigorous checks by the Home Office before it is shared, with banks and building societies, and a current account will only be reported to the Home Office if there is a clear data match based on the person’s name, address and date of birth. In addition, we continue to keep under review any improvements that can be made to the accuracy of the data.
