Article 29: Monitoring fees
Article 29 makes further provision relating to fees required to be paid under article 28 (1) (d). During the first five years that monitoring is functioning, when setting the level of the monitoring fee the Secretary of State will be able to take into account the costs of the Vetting and Barring Scheme over the whole of that period. This will mean he can set a fee that will not vary significantly over the first five years of the scheme, and that will enable the scheme to break even over the first five years.
