Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with whom her Department consulted before introducing the requirement for G4S officers to wear body cameras when visiting asylum seekers in G4S accommodation.

The use of body cameras by G4S welfare officers was a measure introduced by G4S, and not a requirement of the Home Office. The introduction of body-worn cameras was undertaken in accordance with the terms of the contract between the Home Office and G4S.
