Lord Hanson of Flint (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 December 2025

Debate

Facial Recognition Technology: Safeguards

Contribution

My noble friend raised the issue, but I maintain that it is a valuable use of resources to help with crime prevention. We have organised a consultation, which opened on 4 December. My noble friend and anybody else can submit evidence or comments to that consultation over the next 10 weeks. When it is complete, the Government will assess the regulatory framework. We already intend to establish an oversight body to examine how that regulation will operate, which will require further work by the Government.
