DNA Database
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department in how many and what percentage of criminal cases familial searching of the National DNA Database was conducted in 2006.
- Answer
-
115 familial searches were run on the National DNA Database in 2006. The number of cases is 113, as in two operations, two familial searches were carried out. The number of offences recorded for the year 2006 is not yet available. The number recorded in England and Wales for the year April 2005 to March 2006 is 5,742,600, so the percentage of cases in which familial searching is used is very small.
