Labour — Bermondsey and Old Southwark

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 June 2025

Debate

Police Presence on High Streets

Contribution

I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing this debate. Did Operation Fearless include the use of live facial recognition, which the Metropolitan police used in Southwark recently to catch a previously convicted sex offender who was in breach of a court order and wandering around Denmark Hill with a six-year-old? He is now safely back in jail. Does she, like me, welcome the extension of the use of live facial recognition?
