Lord Clement-Jones (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 January 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

Very briefly, I do not think that the noble Lord is making a bad case at all. Live facial recognition, whether in the hands of the public sector or the private sector, needs a proper legal framework: there is no doubt about that. My noble friend made it clear that we believe it is a useful technology, but, the more useful it is, the more we need to make sure that it is under proper control.
