Debate

Forensic Science Regulator Draft Code of Practice 2025

Contribution

Collectively, the code, as updated, will continue to give criminals cause for concern, because it will regulate activity—on DNA, emails, photographs, mobile phones and a range of issues—that brings people to justice. Personally, I continue to watch crime programmes from afar and meet practitioners at a local level; forensic science and CCTV are the two things that have improved, and will continue to improve, conviction rates. I commend this code to the Committee.
