Proceeding contribution from David Davis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Protection of Freedoms Bill (Programme) (No. 3).


Protection of Freedoms Bill (Programme) (No. 3)

I think this is quite a good indicator of how much the Labour party played with the politics of this issue when they were in government rather than dealing with the reality. The biggest handicap to the use of DNA in evidence is collection at the crime site, which is very poor. Our police have been poor at that for a long time but Labour did nothing about that throughout the entire period being discussed.
