answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/05/2024 answer text <p>The UK Government supports reform of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), to make it more representative of the world today. This includes our longstanding support for a permanent seat on the UNSC for India, as well as permanent African representation, and permanent seats for Germany, Japan and Brazil. We support an expansion of the non-permanent category of membership, taking the Security Council's total membership to somewhere in the mid-twenties. The UK Government regularly reiterates its support for India's permanent membership of the Security Council, including earlier this year in the UN General Assembly's recent round of intergovernmental negotiations on UNSC reform.</p> answering member constituency Berwick-upon-Tweed answering member printed Anne-Marie Trevelyan question first answered 22/05/2024 14:00:30 answering member 4531 label Biography information for Anne-Marie Trevelyan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2024 answer text <p>Integrated care boards (ICBs) are responsible for commissioning specialist myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), also known as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), services that meet the needs of their population, subject to local prioritisation and funding. The process of commissioning services should take into account best practice guidance, such as the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence’s (NICE) guidance on ME and CFS diagnosis and management, published in October 2021.</p><p>In October 2023, the British Association of Clinicians in ME/CFS published the ME/CFS National Services Survey. This report provides insight into the services being delivered for adults, children, and young people with ME and CFS. The Department published My full reality: an interim delivery plan for ME/CFS in August 2023, which sets out a number of actions to improve the experiences and outcomes for people living with the condition, including better education of professionals and improvements to service provision.</p><p>Alongside the publication of the interim delivery plan, we ran a public consultation to build a picture of how well the interim plan meets the needs of the ME and CFS community, and to understand if there are any gaps where further action may be necessary. The Department is currently analysing over 3,000 responses to the consultation, and will publish a summary of the consultation responses in due course. Those consultation responses, along with continued close engagement with key stakeholders, will drive the development of the final cross-Government ME/CFS Delivery Plan, which will be published later this year.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 15/05/2024 15:05:33 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people have been (a) arrested, (b) prosecuted and (c) convicted using facial recognition software.
tabling member constituency	Stockport
tabling member printed	Navendu Mishra
uin	23609
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2024 answer text <p>Facial recognition is used by police as an identification tool to search an image of an unknown suspect against the images of people taken on arrest (‘custody images’), or to locate people in an intelligence-led way, by scanning live crowds and comparing them with the images of wanted people on a specific watchlist instantaneously, with very high levels of accuracy.</p><p>An arrest may result from a match made by facial recognition software, but not without the match being carefully reviewed by a trained officer and consideration being made of the wider context and other available information. Investigating officers will consider all of the evidence available and follow up all reasonable enquiries as in any normal investigation. Moreover, a prosecution and/or conviction would never be based solely on a match made by facial recognition software.</p><p>There are no centrally held figures on the number of arrests that result from police forces using facial recognition technology. South Wales Police and the Metropolitan Police Service publish information on their use of facial recognition, including arrests figures and other positive outcomes from deploying live facial recognition. These can be found at the following links:</p><p><a href="https://www.met.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/fr/facial-recognition-technology/" target="_blank">https://www.met.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/fr/facial-recognition-technology/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.south-wales.police.uk/police-forces/south-wales-police/areas/about-us/about-us/facial-recognition-technology/" target="_blank">https://www.south-wales.police.uk/police-forces/south-wales-police/areas/about-us/about-us/facial-recognition-technology/</a></p><p>Given that a facial match using facial recognition software would be one of many factors under consideration in reaching the decision to prosecute and/or resulting in a person being convicted of an offence it is not possible to attribute exact numbers of prosecutions and convictions. However, we are undertaking evaluation work to enhance our understanding of the impact of facial recognition in this regard.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 02/05/2024 16:01:10 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
