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


Forensic Science Service

Does my hon. Friend agree—perhaps this has not been understood—that before a so-called expert can give written or oral evidence to a court the judge has to be satisfied that they are indeed an expert in the field in which they say they are an expert? It matters not where they have come from. What matters to the judge is that they have qualifications, experience and so on, so that it can be determined that they are an expert in the field in which they are giving evidence.
