Proceeding contribution from Lord Henley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 31 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Protection of Freedoms Bill.


Protection of Freedoms Bill

My Lords, that provision will be available here; it is available there. That is the important point. The police will have the ability to apply to the courts. Those arrested for a qualifying offence but not charged, where the victim is vulnerable, will also have their DNA held for three years, subject to the approval of the new independent commissioner. The noble Lord may not like that but that is the case.
