Proceeding contribution from James Brokenshire (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Crime and Security Bill.

Crime and Security Bill

I would always hesitate to make law based on individual cases, but that in no way undermines the considerable traumas of the victims of the crimes that have rightly been solved using DNA evidence. However, the point is that such cases are complex, and forensics are often only one element in solving a particular case, so it is a mistake to present the matter in a stark way.
