There is no UK system, though I gather the systems in the  
countries/principality/province that form the UK are fairly similar.

In this country there are three levels to this scam 
<http://www.disclosurescotland.co.uk/typesofdis.htm>. Two versions of 
the scam include spent convictions, one does not.

The page does not say whether malicious prosecutions are included in 
the other tittle tattle and lies included in the "enhanced" disclosure.

If it was not so serious it would be mildly amusing that governments 
which tell us they want us to protect ourselves against "identity 
fraud" at the same time set up systems which provide ways and means to 
increase "identity fraud".
