Proceeding contribution from Tom Brake (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 March 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on A Surveillance Society?.


A Surveillance Society?

I thank the Minister for giving me the opportunity to clarify my position. This picks up the point that the right hon. Member for Leicester, East made about someone whose DNA has been retained on the database in spite of their many requests for its removal and the fact that they are innocent of any crime. I am not saying that people should not go on there, but there should be a clear process to ensure that the DNA of innocent people is removed from the database within a defined period.
