Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he has made an assessment of the impact of the standard of forensic science available to police officers on prosecution rates.

Answered by Chris Philp - Shadow Home Secretary

The Home Office has made no direct assessment of its own, but we have worked with the National Police Chief’s Council and the Forensic Science Regulator to monitor the accreditation rates of forensic science providers.

The government also put the Forensic Science Regulator on a statutory footing through the Forensic Science Regulator Act (2021) and he has the necessary powers to enforce quality standards.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether his Department has made a recent assessment of the adequacy of the options available to people who wish to complain about the reasons for a compliance notice when the Forensic Science Regulator issue's them a notice.

Answered by Chris Philp - Shadow Home Secretary

Section 8 of the Forensic Science Regulator Act came into force on 2 October 2023 via statutory instrument, allowing a person issued with a compliance notice to appeal to the First Tier Tribunal if they feel a compliance notice has been wrongly issued. Since then, no compliance notices have been issued by the Regulator.

The Act only applies to forensic science activities conducted in England and Wales. Further assessment of the adequacy of the provisions would be covered by post-legislative scrutiny.
