Proceeding contribution from Diane Abbott (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
No one in the House disputes the importance of keeping the DNA of guilty people; it is the indefinite keeping of innocent people's DNA that is at issue. However, I wanted to make a particular point. Much of the unhappiness about keeping the DNA of innocent people would be avoided if there were a clearer, consistent national system for the removal of innocent people's DNA from the database. At present, it varies from one police authority to another, and the unfairness breeds discontent.
