Retention Of DNA Samples (EDM2603)

Retention Of DNA Samples

EDM number 2603 in 2005-06, proposed by Lynne Featherstone on 19/07/2006.

That this House recognises the vital role DNA and the DNA database play in the detection of crimes but is concerned about the retention of DNA on the National Police Database of those individuals who are neither charged nor cautioned; further recognises the potential detrimental effect the retention of DNA has on innocent juveniles; further recognises that there is a disproportionate number of DNA samples retained from members of black and ethnic minorities; and therefore calls on the Government to bring forward legislation to remove the DNA samples of non-charged and non-cautioned individuals currently on the database, except when the individuals concerned give their express consent to the retention of their DNA.

This motion has been signed by a total of 29 MPs.
