Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government why the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SSPCA) was granted direct read-only access to the Police National Computer; and whether there are limits to the information to which the SSPCA has access.
This question was answered on 5th October 2015
The SSPCA were granted access to PNC for the sole purpose of assisting them with the investigation, prosecution and detection of serious animal welfare related crime (e.g dog fighting, badger baiting and the animal trade). Their access is strictly limited and excludes access to information which they are not specifically entitled to see.
