Adding DNA of innocents is a breach of faith

12.00.00am UTC (GMT +0000) Mon 21st Jul 2008

Commenting on today's report by the Ethics Group on the DNA database, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Huhne said:

"The Ethics Group has rightly highlighted how deeply unethical parts of the DNA database are.

"It is totally unacceptable that innocent people who have given their DNA in good faith to assist with a police investigation are being treated like criminals and added to the database.

"Innocent people should not have to apply to have their DNA removed from the database. They should not be on it in the first place. Adding their DNA is a breach of faith."
