Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Lord Grayling (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 23 March 2009 on behalf of the Home Office.
Serious Convictions (DNA Evidence)
- Question
- This is a very straightforward and simple issue. It is, right now, illegal to store the DNA of innocent people over long periods on the DNA database, but as of today, the Government are still doing that. Why?
- Answer
-
I have made it very clear to the hon. Gentleman that we have looked in detail at the judgment in the case of S and Marper and we will bring forward proposals very soon—and when we do so, I hope that Opposition Members will engage with them with slightly more sophistication than they have done today.
