The whole thing needs more than looking at, treating it as a business means the CRB are happy to provide details to anyone that asks and until people like Nidge take prospective employers to court and hit them in the pocket for abusing the system it'll continue.

tend to agree there was a whole thread on about someone wanting virgin to crb all its sales staff this it was never meant for it is only supposed to be used for those with access to children and vulnerable adults and sometimes for those who will be in jobs like bank managers where they have access to lots of money
but many employers seem to be trying to use any contact with the public as an excuse to get one done hence the advice i gave of telling a prospective employer anything that they may feel could be in some way to do with job as even though your copy of a CRB doesn't show it it may well be on the employers copy you not telling them wont go down well
i would suggest to that any one asked to have a CRB done asks why and i they feel its not appropriate to contact the CRB and ask them why its needed for that job they may find that they cant justify it
i would suggest any one asked to do one just to be in sales is being asked only so the employer can find out more and not because it is needed for the job as i cant see that it would lead to unmonitored access to the vulnerable groups all the time
