HC Deb 24 April 1986 vol 96 c189W
49. Mr. Chapman

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is satisfied with the operation and effectiveness of the Intoximeter and Camic breath analysers; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Giles Shaw

The Home Office forensic science report on the evidential breath testing machines, published on 25 June 1985, demonstrated both instruments to be fundamentally acceptable in the sense that they do not place subjects unjustly in jeopardy. Work on the modifications to the machines arising from the report's recommendations is continuing.
