HC Deb 01 May 1996 vol 276 c564W
Mr. McFall

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if the Crown Office has received a report from Strathclyde police subsequent to the DNA testing of the exhumed body associated with the Bible John case. [27567]

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

My noble and learned Friend the Lord Advocate informs me that Strathclyde police have kept the regional procurator fiscal at Glasgow informed of progress in respect of forensic tests being carried out on their behalf. Strathclyde police are unable to forecast when the results of the tests will be available, but will report them to the regional procurator fiscal as soon as they are.
