answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2017 answer text <p>Two Government departments have involvement with this type of technology.</p><p>The Home Office operates the e-gates facial recognition system at some airports. This compares a person’s face with biometric information held in their passport. The purpose of this system is to verify identity and speed entry to the UK by reducing the need for people to pass through desks staffed by immigration officers.</p><p>The Home Office also operates the Police National Database on behalf of police forces. This includes a database of facial images taken from people who have been arrested. Images of suspects can be compared with this database for the purpose of detection of crime.</p><p>The Department for Transport regulates Eurotunnel’s use of biometric checks on staff entry to high security zones but it does not use facial biometric technology to run checks on members of the public.</p> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 01/11/2017 16:59:45 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham
