Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Sandra Gidley (Liberal Democrat). It was answered by Vera Baird (Labour) on Thursday, 20 March 2008 on behalf of the Solicitor General.
Crown Prosecution Service
- Question
- What assessment she has made of the Crown Prosecution Service's response to information on crime scene profiles received from the Dutch authorities in January 2007.
- Answer
-
The Dutch authorities submitted 2,159 crime scene profiles from unsolved crimes. When my noble and learned Friend the Attorney-General became aware of issues surrounding the disk, she ordered the Crown Prosecution Service to conduct an urgent inquiry into what had happened. The inquiry has three strands, two of which will be concluded by the end of this month. I shall not be able to comment on numbers of DNA matches, or anything like that, because of ongoing operations.
