question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they consider a facial digital image or photograph to be a biometric identifier.
tabling member printed	Lord Scriven
uin	HL1215
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/07/2016 answer text <p>• Whilst a digital facial image can be used to help identify individuals to a high degree of probability, this is dependent on (a) quality of the biometric and (b) quality of the algorithm, which is rapidly developing in this area. There are no common standards for digital facial images, but we generally use ICAO standards for passport and immigration purposes. We will publish a Biometrics Strategy covering our use of digital facial images in due course.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford grouped question UIN HL1216 question first answered 29/07/2016 12:23:17 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
