Summary
Key Points: 
  • The Committee will ask for updates on what their Departments are doing to ensure the quality of forensic science is effective across all areas of the criminal justice system and will quiz Ministers on their plans to stabilise the forensic science market.
  • Has the market model of provision of forensic services destabilised effective provision of forensic science to the Criminal Justice System?
  • Why has no progress been made on providing the Forensic Science Regulator with statutory powers?
  • What are you doing to work with UKRI to provide adequate and strategic support for research and development into forensic science?
