HC Deb 07 July 1981 vol 8 cc81-2W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what factors led to the investigation which led to doubts about Dr. Clift's work as a forensic scientist for the Home Office.

Mr. Whitelaw

Doubts about some of Dr. Clift's work resulted from a review of laboratory case work undertaken as part of the quality assurance schemes, which I described in answer to a question by the right hon. Gentleman on 1 July 1981.
