Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress has been made with Interpol on the delivery of the Government’s I-LEAP law enforcement alerts platform.
The current priority of the I-LEAP programme, which is at an early stage of development, is to further enhance the UK’s connectivity to INTERPOL. We aim to initiate two pilots at the end of this year that will test I-LEAP’s real-time connection to INTERPOL nominals data in a live environment. The gradual rollout of I-LEAP’s INTERPOL capability to UK policing more widely should then commence in 2022.
