Airports: Staff
- Question
-
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the current backlog of security checks required for airport staff to begin employment is.
- Answer
-
I am unable to reveal the number of National Security Vetting (NSV) checks in progress as this is likely to prejudice national security. It would also impact the protective measures employed in safeguarding Her Majesty’s Government (HMG). However, I am able to report that security checks are being processed in a timely manner. There are no delays, and the aviation industry is aware of the time that these checks take to be processed.
In line with the practice followed by successive administrations, the Government does not otherwise comment on security matters.
