Closure Of The Council For The Registration Of Forensic Practitioners

EDM number 1849 in 2008-09, proposed by Phil Willis on 09/07/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Medicine and Science.

That this House recognises that the closure or the Council for the Registration of Forensic Practitioners (CRFP) on 31 March 2009, mid-way through the Government's consultation into the future regulation of forensic practitioners, has left a hiatus in regulation; further recognises the important role that forensic scientists play in providing expert witness in the criminal and civil courts; is concerned that the 3,000 practitioners, covering 29 specialties of forensic science, who are registered with the CRFP are no longer regulated; and believes that as the Government looks to design a new regulatory model that a robust and thorough debate around the future of the sector is required.

This motion has been signed by a total of 65 MPs.
