The DNA would go to the Forensic Science Service, the location of which is not disclosable due to the nature of the work they carry out.

Actually, it wouldn't necessarily go to the Forensic Science Service, there are other companies that deal with DNA evidence like LGC forensics and Orchid cellmark for example. Without walking into the police station and asking their scientific support manager where they send their samples then you can't know for sure. Forces can choose who they send their samples to now, could be one of many depending on who does the examination the cheapest
