Proceeding contribution from Andrew Miller (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 February 2012. It occurred during Estimates day on Forensic Science Service.

Forensic Science Service

I will go through the Committee's case—hopefully reasonably forensically—but one of the concerns we express is our worry that this could lead, in the worst cases, to miscarriages of justice. At the time the Government made their announcement, the FSS's operating losses were claimed to be about £2 million a month and the projected shrinking of forensic markets was cited as the reason for the decision.
