Criminal Investigations (Bodily Samples) Act 1995

Preliminary provisions

4B: Approval of agency to determine training criteria for dealing with, and device or other means for taking, buccal samples

You could also call this:

"Who can take mouth swab samples and what training they need"

Illustration for Criminal Investigations (Bodily Samples) Act 1995

The Minister of Justice can approve an agency to decide what training people need to take buccal samples. You need training if you take, supervise the taking of, or deal with buccal samples. The Minister can also approve a device for taking buccal samples. If the Minister makes a decision about this, they must follow the rules for publishing secondary legislation, which you can find in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019. This means the Minister's decision will be made public in a certain way.
