Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many applications for criminal records checks have been received by the Disclosure and Barring Service from the Football Association in each year since 2009-10; and what proportion of those applications (a) passed and (b) failed.

The DBS does not receive information from applicants that enables it to report statistics accurately on the total number of applications relating to specific employers, including the Football Association, unless they are a Registered Body.
