We are committed to enhancing data exchange with the EU for border security and public safety purposes and continue to work closely with the European Commission to identify and pursue practical opportunities to achieve this outcome.

To ask His Majesty's Government whether any review has been undertaken of historic Border Force and airport records at Stansted Airport to establish whether all required passenger information was properly submitted and retained for private aircraft linked to Jeffrey Epstein.
People responsible for unscheduled international flights to and from the UK are, and have long been, required to provide passenger information for customs and immigration purposes. However, in line with the Home Office’s Borders, Immigration and Citizenship Privacy Information Notice, this information is not retained more than 10 years. Information which is retained is available to the police for the investigation of criminal offences.

Custody images used for retrospective facial recognition searches are stored on the Police National Database. The data is held at a secure location in the UK.
Police use of facial recognition is governed by data protection legislation, which require that any processing of biometric data is lawful, fair, proportionate and subject to appropriate safeguards.
Police forces act as the data controllers for facial recognition use and must manage data, including any international transfers, in line with data protection law and established policing standards.
On 4 December last year, we launched a public consultation on when and how biometrics, facial recognition and similar technologies should be used, and what safeguards and oversight are needed. Following analysis of the responses, we will publish a formal government response in due course.

Since the publication of the publication of the Independent Review of Data, Statistics and Research on Sex and Gender there has also been a Supreme Court judgement on the definition of sex within the Equality Act. We recognise the importance of accurate and consistent recording of data on sex and gender and are considering the implications for administrative data systems in policing as part of the 2026/27 Annual Data Requirement which is currently in development.
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the national police database and its ability to analyse the link between (1) exposure to violent and misogynistic pornography, and (2) violent offences against women and girls.
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the national police database and its ability to analyse the link between (1) exposure to violent and misogynistic pornography, and (2) violent offences against women and girls.
The Police National Database provides a joined-up view of vital intelligence gathered nationwide and made available to Policing and law enforcement agencies. Its data is uploaded regularly by police forces and law enforcement agencies.
PND searches can link people, addresses, phones and vehicles and can be used to investigate individual offenders or crimes, or to build intelligence about networks or gangs involved in criminal activity.
Where people are suspected of crimes involving obscene publications, indecency or violence against women and girls, the details would be shown on their record on PND. If their record includes intelligence indicating both exposure to violent and misogynistic pornography and violence against women and girls, further investigation could follow to establish whether there was a link.

To ask His Majesty's Government what progress they have made on a register of convicted stalkers.
To ask His Majesty's Government what progress they have made on a register of convicted stalkers.
The Government has set out an unprecedented mission to halve violence against women. Stalking is an insidious crime that leaves victims living in fear every day, which is why it is essential to ensure the police and wider criminal justice system have the tools they need to protect victims and pursue perpetrators.
Those convicted of the offence of stalking involving fear, harassment, alarm or distress and sentenced to more than 12 months' imprisonment are automatically managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA), a process which involves the police, probation and prison services working together to assess and manage the risk of specified offenders. Those convicted of that offence and sentenced to fewer than 12 months' imprisonment or convicted of section 2A stalking offence can be MAPPA managed on a discretionary basis. In the MAPPA guidance, it is stressed that every stalking perpetrator should be considered for MAPPA management. We continue to consider how these systems can be strengthened.
Those managed under MAPPA have their details stored on the ViSOR database. In addition, anyone subject to a Stalking Protection Order (SPO) is subject to notification requirements. This means if the name used by or the address of the person changes during the duration of the order, they must notify the police within a 3-day period of that change. Failure to do so is a criminal offence punishable by a maximum of 12 months' imprisonment.
To ensure the effective management of stalking perpetrators we also announced six new measures on 3 December. This includes legislating in the Crime and Policing Bill to provide for the courts to issue SPOs on conviction or acquittal and introducing national standards for stalking perpetrator interventions to help improve the efficacy and consistency of such programmes.
We are also working with a new policing centre to create models such as V100 in the MET to look at the specific offender management of the most violent perpetrators in an area.
To ask His Majesty's Government, following Non-Crime Hate Incidents: Code of Practice on the Recording and Retention of Personal Data, published in June 2023, whether police forces in (1) England, and (2) Wales, have deleted historic non-crime hate incidents recorded in relation to the behaviour of under18-year-olds before the new...

The Home Office does not currently collate data on the number of non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs). This data should be held at a force level.
The Non-Crime Hate Incidents Code of Practice already makes clear that where incidents are reported in schools or between school-aged children, an NCHI record “should not be made on policing systems, and the personal data of the subject should not be recorded”.
The Home Office has agreed that the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC), supported by the College of Policing, will conduct a review on the use and effectiveness of NCHIs, including looking at the relevant force-level data.

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Hanson of Flint on 11 December (HL2987), when the new IT system to provide more reliable data currently under development will be fully operational, and what will be the cost.
The IT system which will provide centrally held, reliable data for cancellation of permission to stay decisions remains under development. It is currently progressing through standard test phases before becoming fully operational at a date to be determined.
The IT system referred to forms part of the wider Immigration Project Technology (IPT) project. Information regarding the cost of the wider project can be found here in the UKVI transparency data information, last updated 6 December 2024.

Work is ongoing between the Home Office, Ministry of Justice, His Majesty’s Courts and Tribunal Service (HMCTS) and the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) to ensure a system is in place for the information transfer of protective orders from the courts to policing.
The government is also working with the NPCC to develop a Continuous Integrity System to enable relevant information on officers and staff to be captured and assessed in quick time as part of a wider integrity programme to enhance the vetting regime.

We are committed to resetting the relationship with our European partners, including the EU, which will support us in tackling organised immigration crime and small boat crossings.
We have already enhanced our work with EU agencies, having delivered an immediate 50% uplift in NCA officers to be based in Europol. Wherever the UK and European partners can better jointly tackle shared challenges, including through enhanced information sharing, the Government will consider options to facilitate that cooperation further.
