Baroness Neville-Jones
I think the House would endorse the sentiments just expressed by the noble Lord.
Lord Mackenzie of Framwellgate
My Lords, how will the Government explain to the victims of serious crime the gross injustice caused by the reduction in the number of convictions which will inevitably occur following the reducing of the DNA register?
Baroness Neville-Jones
My Lords, we do not accept that that will be the case. The Government intend to ensure that the all those who have committed crimes are on the DNA register, which was not the case under the previous Government.
