question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will take steps to ensure that all the DNA profiles of current prisoners are added to the DNA database.
tabling member constituency	Shipley
tabling member printed	Philip Davies
uin	3770
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2015 answer text <p>It has been standard practice for the police to take DNA profiles from all persons arrested for a recordable offence for many years. If the person is then convicted, their DNA profile is retained indefinitely. If the police follow standard practice consistently, then prisoners’ DNA profiles are on the database because they were taken on arrest. It would not therefore be cost effective to check all prisoners to confirm their DNA profiles are on the database.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 26/06/2015 13:15:20 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
