answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>191955</strong><strong>: </strong>Greater Manchester Police are undertaking an ongoing, expansive criminal investigation into alleged manipulation of toxicology results now by three individuals who were employed at Trimega, and later Randox Testing Services (RTS) after Trimega’s liquidation in 2014, and this matter is being treated with the utmost seriousness. <strong> </strong> As the police are now treating all results obtained by Trimega between 2010 and 2014 as unreliable, and because Trimega provided toxicology testing for civil and family court cases, it is possible that some civil cases may have been affected by manipulation, though this remains undetermined as the investigation is ongoing.</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><strong>191958: </strong>As of 16 November 2018, four C650 applications to vary or set aside a court order in relation to children (drug and/or alcohol toxicology test after 2010) have been filed with HM Courts &amp; Tribunals Service. Of these, one was dismissed on application because it did not relate to testing undertaken by Trimega. Of the other three, one was withdrawn and another dismissed by the judge hearing the case. In one instance, a previous order was discharged.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer grouped question UIN 191955 question first answered 20/11/2018 17:47:02 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
