To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what her policy is on the use of CCTV cameras.
James Brokenshire
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department
The Government recognises the importance of CCTV in preventing and detecting crime and supports its use by communities. The Government also acknowledges that continued use of CCTV requires the support of the public and public confidence that systems are being used appropriately.
Accordingly, we intend to introduce a Code of Practice for Surveillance Cameras and appoint a Surveillance Camera Commissioner.
