    The UK have been holding off while they negotiate with the EU.

    That's not true. Dr Liam Fox has been trying to initiate talks with a number of countries. Unfortunately, his department has gotten rather bogged down with their "Tariffs for a 21st Century Britain" plan.

    Genuine question about the whole uber thing. One of the points people have made is that they dont crb check their drivers. Accepting for the moment that this is true do we have any evidence that crb checking of drivers has reduced crime per capita of taxi drivers?

    No idea on your actual question but it's not CRB anymore, it's DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) now. According to Uber London's website, all their drivers have to apply for an Enhanced DBS.
    I don't keep up with it to be honest whatever its called its the same thing, I know it has caused a lot of harm. Just would like to think it has done some good to offset that as well
    CRB required disclosure of convictions. DBS has a lower threshold. Think of it as what is needed for criminal conviction or civil. Agree it is technical. Like not guilty and not proven in Scottish Law maybe?
    Edit: And spent convictions and cautions which have a automatic expiry.
    Enhanced CRB required disclosure of convictions, cautions, and allegations - including suspicions.

    After the government realised this laid them wide open to libel actions, they changed to DBS, which is (a) sent to you and (b) does not include suspicions although it can still include allegations.
