HC Deb 18 December 1987 vol 124 c840W
Mr. Tony Lloyd

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what information he has about the reliability of DNA tests; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Renton

The applicability of DNA testing in Home Office areas of responsibility continues to be examined. We plan to publish in the new year the results of a pilot study in a number of immigration cases.
