Further to that point, will my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary say whether a similar provision will apply to local authority members who visit schools? That issue arose some time ago in my constituency. As selected representatives we go in and out of all kinds of institutions without any checks. I have only once been asked for a police check to visit a children’s establishment, and that was when I was travelling abroad with a voluntary organisation. Elected representatives are not always immune from difficulties in this area either. Could my hon. Friend respond to that point?
