Finally, we received the good news today that the Portfolio Committee on Police (PCP) has published their draft programme, which includes a comprehensive process to consider and review the DNA Bill, full details of which appear below. I will be attending Parliament on each of the days the PCP has nominated to review the Bill, and shall be publishing full details of the review process on this blog. You will note that public comment will be invited on the 28 October and 30 October 2009, respectively and I hope that we can rely on every one of you to send in your written support for this Bill, when called for.

Vanessa.
