Question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department pursuant to the answer from the hon. Member for Suffolk Coastal of 6 December 2010, Official Report, column 99W, on the National DNA Database, what estimate she has made of the time required to remove records of unconvicted people from the National DNA Database following the enactment of the relevant legislation.
Answer

The Protection of Freedoms Bill, currently before Parliament, makes provision for the removal of DNA profiles for the majority of non-convicted persons from the National DNA Database (NDNAD), with some specific exceptions. Our aim is to remove the vast majority of non-convicted people from the NDNAD as soon as is practicable, following enactment of the relevant provisions.
