In your response to MQ 2017/1659 you said: 'Where there is a legitimate policing purpose to share information this would be subject to a formal Information Sharing Agreement and appropriate vetting process. Currently the MPS does not permit direct access to any police database to any private security company.' Please clarify whether the MPS permits any access to their databases, either directly or indirectly, to private security companies and what information, if any, is shared.
