To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the categories of applications from Essex for search by the Criminal Records Bureau in respect of (a) foster care and adoption, (b) teaching staff and (c) schools non-teaching staff. [118750]

The information sought by the hon. Member is not available in the format requested. There are no IT procedures at present to differentiate between the categories of applicants within the occupations requested. There is no requirement to provide data on an occupation-specific basis, as each application is treated equally, and the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) do not prioritise by occupation type.
