63C2C1Power to use fingerprints to check applicant's identity

I1I21

Ministers may require an applicant to join the Scheme, or a scheme member, to have fingerprints taken in such manner, and at such place, as may be prescribed for the purposes of enabling or assisting Ministers to satisfy themselves as to the identity of the applicant or, as the case may be, scheme member.

I32

But Ministers may require an individual to have fingerprints taken under subsection (1) only if they are not satisfied by other evidence provided under section 62(1) as to the individual's identity.

I33

Ministers must arrange the destruction of any such fingerprints as soon as reasonably practicable after they have been used for the purposes mentioned in subsection (1).

I34

Any person who holds records of fingerprints for the use of police forces generally must make those records available to Ministers for the purposes of this section.

I35

This section does not affect the generality of section 62 in relation to any other type of evidence of identity.
