HC Deb 29 October 1986 vol 103 c178W
Mr. Madden

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions have taken place between his Deparment and ICI about the commercial development of DNA testing; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eggar

I am following the commercial development of DNA testing with keen interest and have met with representatives of ICI, as have FCO officials. I am confident that DNA testing can help speedily resolve applications to settle in this country which depend mainly on proving a family relationship.
