European Court Of Human Rights Judgment And The National DNA Database

EDM number 310 in 2008-09, proposed by Keith Vaz on 16/12/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Data protection, Police and Genetics.

That this House welcomes the verdict of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of S vs Marper; believes that the DNA of innocent people should not be retained in the National Database; notes that 2.3 million offenders do not have their DNA details on the database whereas around 730,000 innocent people do; further notes that Britain has the largest database of this kind in the world with the details of an estimated one in six of the adult population on it by 2012; and calls on the Home Secretary to respond by instructing local police authorities to destroy the DNA they hold where the person has not been convicted of an offence, including hundreds of thousands of innocent individuals.

This motion has been signed by a total of 49 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
