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

Forensic Science Service

The overwhelming client of the Forensic Science Service is the police in England and Wales, although there are some other clients. The money is therefore being paid by the police service. If the contracts are adjusted, as they may well be by commercial providers, all that will happen is that the police service will pay more money. These notional losses are a consequence of the way in which the system is set up. What parts of the criminal justice system does the hon. Gentleman think should make a profit?
