HC Deb 16 June 1988 vol 135 c198W
Mr. Madden

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the reason for the delay in the publication of the feasibility study, jointly undertaken with the Foreign Office, into DNA testing involving those applying to settle in the United Kingdom; whether he is going to make arrangements to fund the introduction of any DNA testing scheme; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Renton

Some of the practical and policy considerations revealed by the DNA pilot trial have proved difficult to resolve, but the results should be available shortly.
