Forensic Linguistics (Standards) Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill sets up official standards and rules for forensic linguists who work with the police and courts. It aims to make sure that when experts analyze language evidence (like text messages or statements), they follow the same reliable methods, so justice isn't based on inconsistent or poorquality analysis.

Presented by Roger Mullin.
