I have the opportunity for getting on board with the MOD for some civils/surfacing work- has anyone else here gone through the vetting/security clearance to enable works with them?

I remember back along (before my time) I was told that anyone with a criminal conviction had to leave site. 80% of the guys had to leave lol leaving the old man and a cpl of others to complete the days work! Not funny really.

we had to be vetted in the early 90s to work on the french embassy next door to kensington palace
only 4 out of 50 blokes had no irish ancestors up to grandad
I was lucky as my great grand father was from donegal
lot of subbies had to come in from essex
