Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 December 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on National DNA Database.
National DNA Database
It is possible that the Minister, who is in many ways a very able and sensitive man, will say in his response to the debate that he is concerned to hear what my hon. Friend is saying, but that last year alone almost 20,000 crimes were solved using a DNA match, including 83 killings and 184 rapes, and that the retention of the DNA of innocent people on the database is just an unfortunate and unavoidable cost that must be borne by those people. Would my hon. Friend say that that is sufficient reason?
