    Do a bit of research...

    From a quick google..

    Developed Vetting (DV) or (DV Cleared) is required for people with substantial unsupervised access to TOP SECRET assets. The following security vetting stages are mandatory before a DV clearance can be approved:

    BaselinePersonnel Security Standard (Which is normally undertaken as part of the recruiting process)
    Departmental / Company Records Check
    Security Questionnaire
    Criminal Record Check
    Credit Reference Check and review of personal finances
    Security Service Check
    Check of medical and psychological information provided
    Subject Interview and further enquiries, which will include interviews with character referees and current and previous supervisors
    or

    Security Clearance Level: DV
    Developed Vetting DV is the most comprehensive and highly expensive form of UK security vetting, and is therefore only required for the most sensitive appointments and tasks, involving long-term and uncontrolled access to top-secret material.

    The DV Security clearance level is made up of both the Basic Clearance and Security Clearance checks plus:

    the completion of a DV supplement questionnaire
    Security check including a criminal records and credit reference checks, and a Security Service records check
    a financial check
    the checking of references (social, employment, education etc) in writing, by telephone or by interview from personal friends, tutors and employers as appropriate
    a detailed interview with the person needing the clearance conducted by a vetting officer
    Once you've passed the interview successfully, Personnel Security will carry out enquiries to ensure you can be trusted with sensitive Government information. Presuming these are satisfactorily completed, you will be granted a Developed Vetting (DV) clearance.

If you were a drug dealer or trying to run from something it would sound about normal. I would say you it would be worthwhile to do some digging and find some.
    do previous employers count ?
