DNA Database

Mr. Clegg: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many DNA profiles are held of individuals who are (a) under 16, (b) 16 to 18, (c) 19 to 21 and (d) over 21 years, broken down by police force area. [86528]

John Reid: The information requested for the police forces in England and Wales is shown in the following table. The figures given are the number of DNA subject sample profiles held on the National DNA Database as at 18 July 2006 and not the number of individuals. Some individuals may have more than one profile on the Database due to replicate sampling. It is estimated that the current level of replication on the Database is about 10 per cent.

Domestic Violence

Lynne Featherstone: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many arrests for domestic violence have been made in each (a) London borough
4 Sep 2006 : Column 1791W
and (b) constituency in each of the last five years, broken down by the offender's (i) age and (ii) ethnic origin; and if he will make a statement. [82958]

Mr. Coaker: The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) collect data at London borough level on domestic violence-related arrests broken down by offender’s age
4 Sep 2006 : Column 1792W
and ethnicity (see tables). The MPS do not collect data at constituency level. The data demonstrates a steady increase in domestic violence-related arrests by the MPS. This is in line with the Home Office’s objectives of increasing the reporting of domestic violence and police pro-activity in responding to domestic violence.
