Part V of the Police Act 1997
http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/docs2/policeact1997_crimrecconsult.pdf
This includes measures that enable all organisations in England and Wales, irrespective of whether they are likely to ask exempted questions under the The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, to obtain criminal record information about prospective employees and volunteers from a centralised source for excepted professions. This is carried out by the new executive agency of the Home Office – the Criminal Records Bureau, situated in Liverpool.
Since March 2002, it has been an offence for organisations to require applicants to run police checks on themselves under Sec 56 of the Data Protection Act 1998
