Sounds like the company have bid for this work on the basis of having loads of SC cleared staff, and now they've won it they realise they haven't and are panicking trying to get people SC clear-able (i.e. have BC clearance) ASAP.
No, your consent is not required at all.
Even so, he has to issue the forms to the individuals concerned, he cannot just ask for the information and fill them out himself.

I hope your brother's boss made this request/threat in writing. That piece of paper, I suspect, could be worth rather a lot of money.

Does he know that? All of a sudden the contract he's just signed means he's on the hook for shed loads of money if he can't deliver. Quite an incentive to "cut corners"...

Yep - Home Office security clearance goes down on a form which I'm sure you have to sign. The "SC" clearance I got didn't ask anything about siblings, though - parents, wife, live-in partners.
But it sounds like the upshot is - cough the info ASAP or risk that threat becoming reality.
Does he have the "request" in writing? If not, tell him to ask his boss to drop him a mail confirming what he requires, and when he requires it by. Just so he's got it in writing.

Busted lol.
Dont be so paranoid, why not give them the info, however I would not give the the place of birth I'd jsut say I don't know... the other info is very easy to get anyway. (I jsut like to be hard work I don't see why I should know or tell anyone where various people were born, if they are that worried they can ring them and ask)
infact I'm not sure where I was born let alone anyone else in my family...
last year my GF found out she was born on the 25th on august not the 26th that she has put on all paperwork / documents for hte past 45 years) [she found her birth cert while clearing our her mums house]

It would depend on what was in the contract initially whether the role change (if that's what it is) is valid without the express consent of both parties. Of course practically speaking Orange Peel's brother is over a barrel about this but technically at least such a requirement may not be part of his existing contract.
Would BC allow them to do the job while awaiting SC or DV clearance? SC can take a considerable period of time and DV even longer.
