- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to Written Ministerial Statement HCWS265, what estimate his Department has made of the number of (a) tests and (b) individuals tested by Trimega between 2010 and 2014.
- Answer
-
The Government’s immediate priority is to work with the police to establish the full scale of the potential impact on the public of the alleged manipulation of toxicology test results. Due to apparent poor record keeping by Trimega, a reliable estimate of the number of tests and the number of individuals involved is not possible at this time.
The Government recognises the concern many family court users will have and the potential impact on their families. This is why a bespoke court process has been created with a specific court form to enable the individuals concerned to ask the court to consider varying or setting aside a final order from the original proceedings.
