Randox Testing Services
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the Written Statement of 21 November 2017, Toxicology, HCWS 265, whether Randox Testing Services are compliant with the Forensic Science Regulator's codes of practice and conduct.
- Answer
-
Although sponsored by the Home Office, the regulator is a public appointee and operates independently, on behalf of the criminal justice system as a whole. This independence allows the regulator to make unbiased recommendations and decisions. Accreditation to the regulator’s codes of practice and conduct is undertaken, at the request of organisations, by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service, which is also independent of Government.
