Proceeding contribution from Paul Robert Holmes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 December 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on National DNA Database.


National DNA Database

Does the Minister agree that Mark Dixie was not convicted because his DNA was on the database from some years ago when he had not been charged? Nine months after the murder, he was arrested during a pub brawl, and his DNA was taken and run against the national database, so it is not an example of old DNA from an innocent person proving them guilty years later.
