Motion text

That this House notes with concern the complete lack of regulation in the security industry that leaves companies free to employ staff with criminal records for security work; and calls upon the Government to establish a regulatory body, requiring statutory registration of all firms involved in private security work and with powers to vet all existing and prospective employees, owners and directors of such firms and to monitor their activities.
