Make it mandatory for all MPs to complete an enhanced DBS check

I want the government to debate this issue and hopefully bring all MPs into line with other persons that are subject to having to complete DBS in order to carry out their work. I feel it is unsatisfactory that they should be excluded in this day and age.
