Different SC clearances
you may be aware, but there are actually different levels of SC clearance.
For instance, there are people working in Whitehall with SC clearance , and these can be held by dual nationals or people with nationalities other than British, however, althoguh the clearance can be transferred to other places, i.e. AWE or GCHQ, the holders are not allowed to view information above a certain security level, rendering it pretty much useless.
This has happened to me when placing a candidate and is very infuriating as you do not find out until it is too late and the worse thing is that it is very much affecting someone's life (yes, a pimp with a sense of conscience, or perhaps it is just a bout of gas).
This is what may have happened.
