<p> </p><p> </p><p>The first category relates to searches carried out against the
National DNA <br />Database (NDNAD) of DNA profiles from outstanding serious crimes
or for the <br />identification of an unknown deceased person believed to be a UK
national.<br />The below figures are for requested searches undertaken on the basis
of a <br />direct request from the National Crime Agency (NCA) formerly Serious Organised<br
/>Crime Agency (SOCA), with the report as to the outcome of each profile<br />search
being issued directly to the United Kingdom National Central Bureau <br />for Interpol
(UK NCB).</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Year</strong></td><td><strong>Number

for a subject on <br />the NDNAD, where fingerprints have been provided to the country
that the <br />individual currently resides in. Again this is information provided

The UK NCB is not currently able to provide data on the number of requests received

This provides <br />the number of subject and crime scene DNA profile records held
on the database <br />and the number of match reports generated. Countries which do
not have a DNA <br />database use this information to demonstrate the success of the
UK Database to <br />support their case for legislation in their own country for a
DNA database.</p><p>Requestors are directed to the most recent published statistics
on the Home <br />Office NDNAD website, at: <br />https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-dna-database-statistics
<br />thus no figures are kept for the numbers of such requests.</p></td><td> </td></tr></tbody></table><p>
