HC Deb 26 July 2000 vol 354 cc714-5W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will refer to the Law Commission the question whether the restrictions on the use of DNA to be found in section 643(B) of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 should be maintained. [131478]

Mr. Charles Clarke

I am looking at this issue carefully to determine whether to propose changes to section 64 (3B) of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984. I do not consider it necessary at present to seek advice from the Law Commission on this issue.
