(2) which organisations were able to access data on the National DNA Database on 1 December 2009. [306628]
Mr. Alan Campbell: Direct access to information on the National DNA Database (NDNAD) is restricted to 34 designated personnel working for the National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA). Police forces and other organisations do not have access to the information on the NDNAD, however they receive reports from the NDNAD Custodian Delivery Unit of matches between DNA taken from crime scenes and that taken from individuals.
On both 1 October and 1 December 2009, the police forces of England, Wales and Scotland, the Police Service of Northern Ireland, the British Transport police and 11 additional organisations were authorised to receive match reports from the NDNAD. The 11 additional organisations are listed as follows.
Additional organisations authorised to receive NDNAD match reports on 1 October 2009
Criminal Cases Review Commission
Guernsey Police
HM Revenue and Customs
Isle of Man Constabulary
States of Jersey Police
Joint Armed Services Police
Ministry of Defence Police
Ministry of Defence Police (Scotland)
NDNAD Data Quality Team-Prisoner Sampling Program
Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency
Serious Organised Crime Agency
Foreign law enforcement organisations do not have access to the NDNAD, but may request that a comparison is made between a DNA profile from, for example, an unsolved crime scene or an unidentified deceased person in their country, and profiles on the NDNAD. Such requests are routed through Interpol to the UK National Central Bureau (UK NCB) based at the Serious Organised Crime Agency.
These requests are only processed where it is clear that the request is in the interest of prevention and detection of crime, national security or the data subject. They are also subject to a risk assessment, taking into account the justification for and proportionality of disclosure of the information in line with human rights. If cleared for processing, a one-off search of the NDNAD is made and information on any matches are fed back to UK NCB who will liaise with the foreign law enforcement organisation.

John Battle: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people were stopped and tested for drink driving (a) in West Yorkshire, (b) in each police authority area and (c) in total in each of the last five years. [306944]
