Children on DNA database

More than one million profiles of children have been added to the Government's DNA database since it was set up, official figures reveal.

The database holds 1,066,896 profiles of people who were under 18 when their genetic fingerprints were collected.

The Home Office revealed in August that the profiles of nearly 40,000 innocent children aged between 10 and 17 are on the database.
