§ Mr. Paul MarsdenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the outcome of the DNA tests on evidence found in connection with the murder of Miss Hilda Murrell. [136560]
§ Mr. Charles Clarke[holding answer 6 November, 2000] I understand from West Mercia Constabulary that no significant DNA results have yet been identified from examination of items which could bear DNA traces. But the police and Forensic Science Service have not yet reached the end of the forensic examination of the items which were prioritised as likely to give results.
