Proceeding contribution from Michael Ellis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 February 2012. It occurred during Estimates day on Forensic Science Service.
Forensic Science Service
It was Sir Robert Peel who set up the Laboratory of the Government Chemist in 1842 to analyse alcohol and tobacco products. It remained in situ until 1996, when it was privatised. There has, in effect, been a managed decline of the Forensic Science Service for years, including under the previous Labour Government.
