Blair calls for everyone to record DNA on databases

JAMES KIRKUP POLITICAL EDITOR (jkirkup@scotsman.com)

MILLIONS of people should have their genetic details recorded on government DNA databases, regardless of whether they have ever been convicted of a crime, Tony Blair said yesterday.

The Prime Minister's demand for the "maximum number" of samples to be recorded will increase pressure on Scotland to follow England's lead and allow routine retention of DNA from innocent people.

It prompted civil liberties groups to warn that Labour was intent on creating a potentially dangerous "database state".

Police in England are permitted to retain DNA details of everyone arrested, whether or not they are convicted of a crime. That has allowed them to build a database of 3.6 million samples, including those of more than 150,000 people who have no criminal record. In Scotland, DNA samples of innocent people must be destroyed, but Labour is keen to bring Scots law into line with that in England.

At least in Britain everyone is guaranteed healthcare so the fear of being screwed over by the medical-insurance complex is not there.
