I propose to take Questions Nos. 115 to 117, inclusive, together.

The National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Act 2012 provides for the vetting of personnel working with children and/or vulnerable adults. Vetting of volunteers who distribute leaflets, envelopes and promotional materials for religious organisations and/or churches, or political canvassers, or persons who deliver the post, or those who work as parcel delivery/courier personnel is not required by the Act.
