  • Reference: 2017/3634
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
In response to my question 2017/2101 you stated that "The GLA does not share individual-level information relating to rough sleeping with the Home Office." However, a Guardian article published on 19 August 2017 revealed that the GLA has shared information with the Home Office that has led the deportation of EU nationals. In light of this, could you explain why and how this information was shared with the Home Office?

Automatic facial recognition strategy

  • Reference: 2017/3630
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
The Home Office has not yet produced a biometrics strategy, which would include the use of automatic facial recognition. However, the Metropolitan Police Service is already using automatic facial recognition as a policing tactic. Is there any legal basis, strategy, policy or procedure that governs the way this capability is being used by the police in London?
