Proceeding contribution from Lord Field of Birkenhead (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Crime and Security Bill.


Crime and Security Bill

In my constituency, where a young woman was brutally murdered more than a decade ago, the DNA record allowed a person who probably would have gone free to be brought to justice and put inside. I know that my right hon. Friend is only just beginning, but we have not heard any data in the House for the past two years about the number of crimes cleared up due to such records. The number for the first 10 years was well over 250,000. Does he have more up-to-date figures?
