§ Mr. EdwardsTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received regarding the introduction of a national DNA register; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter LloydI have not had any recent representations about the introduction of a national DNA register. As I said in my reply to the hon. Member for Bolton, North-East (Mr. Thurnham) on 7 February, I have sought the advice of the Royal Commission on criminal justice about this delicate issue.
