DBS must pay to the appropriate police authority such fee as the Secretary of State thinks appropriate for information provided to DBS in accordance with sub-paragraph (1)(c).
For the purpose of deciding under this Schedule whether or not a person is included in a barred list DBS must not take account of relevant police information if the F8relevant chief officer thinks that it would not be in the interests of the prevention or detection of crime to disclose the information to the person.
In this paragraph—
“caution” has the same meaning as in section 126 of the Police Act 1997 (c. 50);
F11“the relevant chief officer” means any chief officer of a police force who is identified by the Secretary of State for the purposes of this paragraph;
