DNA database 'should include all'
Quote:
Tony Blair called yesterday for the national DNA database to be expanded to include every citizen.
He said there should be no limit on the development of the database because it was vital for catching serious criminals.
The Conservatives accused him of attempting to expand the DNA database by stealth and called for Parliament to vote on whether details of people who were innocent or not charged should be included against their wishes.
The Prime Minister said the public backed the extended use of DNA and urged police forces across the country to make use of technological advances to reopen thousands of unresolved "cold cases".
