To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to develop a statutory, and binding, code of practice for the use of live facial recognition technology, as recommended by the Information Commissioner.
Baroness Williams of Trafford
The Minister of State, Home Department
The High Court found in September 2019 that there is a clear and sufficient legal framework for police use of live facial recognition technology. The framework includes police common law powers to protect the public, data protection and human rights legislation and the Surveillance Camera Code of Practice.
The Government has no plans to formally respond to the Information Commissioner’s Office’s report.
