Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he has had discussions with private facial recognition surveillance suppliers on use of live facial recognition in the retail sector.
Answered by Chris Philp - Shadow Home Secretary
The Government supports the appropriate use of facial recognition to solve and prevent crimes, bring offenders to justice, and keep people safe.
I have been engaging with a wide range of facial recognition suppliers, including those who supply to the retail sector, where it can play an important role in tackling retail crime.
The National Retail Crime Steering Group brings together Government, trade organisation, retailers and enforcement partners to discuss to ensure the response to crimes affecting the retail sector is as robust as it can be, which has included discussions on facial recognition.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many applications for a grant from the 2022-23 Windrush community engagement fund were approved before the scheme was withdrawn.
Answered by Robert Jenrick
Due to internal processing delays in assessing bids for the Community Engagement Fund 2022-23, the Home Office took the decision to withdraw the competition in February this year. Continuing with this competition would have left organisations with very little time to complete their proposed projects before the end of the 22/23 financial year. None of the applications for the grant fund were approved before withdrawal.
