The Chair of the Home Affairs Committee highlights the issue of the ability to share data with our international partners. Obviously, our Interpol relationship predates our SIS II access, and that will provide us with the means to communicate with all our international partners quickly and securely. All incoming Interpol circulations—notices and diffusions, as they are called—are uploaded to UK border and policing systems to ensure our security.

I welcome the Windrush announcement; we look forward to seeing the detail. Last week, the National Audit Office report said that the Home Office plans to remove all SIS II—second generation Schengen information system—data from the Warnings Index, Semaphore and Border Crossing systems on 31 December. Can the Home Secretary confirm that that means the Government will be removing or deleting from our border systems the details of more than 40,000 criminals and suspects wanted abroad?
As the right hon. Lady has highlighted, in the absence of SIS II we will use Interpol channels to exchange information with EU member states on persons of interest. All incoming Interpol circulations, notices and diffusions are uploaded to UK border and policing systems. Our use of Interpol predates our SIS II access, and provides the capability to exchange data and communicate with all our international partners quickly and securely.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether access to the (a) European Criminal Records Information system and (b) Schengen Information system for (i) Police Scotland and (ii) the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service will be maintained after the transition period.

We continue to discuss with the EU an agreement on law enforcement and criminal justice cooperation in criminal matters. The agreement should equip operational partners on both sides with the capabilities that help protect citizens and bring criminals to justice promoting the security of all our citizens. As set out in the UK’s Approach to Negotiations, we have proposed this should include capabilities similar to those provided by the European Criminal Records Information System (ECRIS) and by SIS II.
Our focus is on reaching an agreement with the EU and we will continue to work hard to achieve it. We are also working closely with the police, other law enforcement and criminal justice agencies in the UK, as well as the devolved administrations, to ensure we are ready for a range of possible outcomes at the end of the year.
Motion to consider. Agreed to on question.

UK Police forces are already identifying criminals as a result of the UK’s connection to Prüm DNA exchanges. Since joining Prüm in July last year, the UK’s connection to Prüm has led to tens of thousands of DNA profiles being matched in the UK and across EU Member States, advancing law enforcement investigations in the UK and the EU.
We are ready to begin sharing fingerprints with EU Member States and next steps are with the European Commission to determine when the UK can begin to exchange fingerprint data via Prüm.
The vote in the European Parliament does not affect our ability to continue to participate in DNA exchanges with EU Member States on a reciprocal basis. We are committed to cooperation that keeps our citizens safe.

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many local authorities have to date submitted a rough sleeping count for 2018 using the DELTA online system.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many local authorities have to date submitted a rough sleeping count for 2018 using the DELTA online system.
The rough sleeping counts or estimates take place between 1 October and 30 November.
Local authorities have to submit their data using the MHCLG DELTA online system by 14 December.
4 local authorities to date have submitted their data using this system. Once figures are submitted they are then certified by Homeless Link, which is funded by MHCLG to provide independent verification, validation and guidance to local authorities for the annual rough sleeping count and estimate process.
We cannot provide any more detailed information about who has submitted their rough sleeping count or estimates during the process, as this could undermine the trust, quality and value of the official statistics.
As in previous years, the official rough sleeping statistics will be published in January 2019.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, when his Department commissioned work to construct a national database of build-out rates on large sites; what the project specification is for that work; and what the timetable is for that work to be completed.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, when his Department commissioned work to construct a national database of build-out rates on large sites; what the project specification is for that work; and what the timetable is for that work to be completed.
The Department ran a competitive tender to procure data on planning applications and development pipeline, which closed on 23 March 2018.
The specification for this database is publicly available at the following link: https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cc21a568-739a-4090-8b7d-d58eb8b4cb84.
The specification covers a considerable amount of information relating to planning and development data. Very large sites are often complex in nature and as such the Department is currently working with the supplier to establish a robust methodology to consistently provide build-out information. This is currently being scoped and due to the complexity involved it is not possible to provide a definitive date for completion.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when she plans to publish data gathered from border exit checks.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when she plans to publish data gathered from border exit checks.
Exit checks were introduced in April 2015. They will, over a period of time, provide us with a range of insights into the behaviours of migrants and how they comply with restrictions placed upon their length of stay in the UK.
Data collected from exit checks is a record of cross border movement. It may in the future help inform but will not in itself answer questions on emigration.
The Home Office has announced that it is considering the use of exit checks data for statistical reporting and intends to publish an initial evaluation of the use of exit checks for this purpose. The evaluation will be a technical assessment of the analysis carried out thus far and of the further analysis necessary to better understand short, medium, and long term opportunities.
The initial evaluation of the use of exit checks will be published on 25 August to coincide with the next quarterly immigration statistics release.
Publication of the initial evaluation on the use of exit checks will be on the GOV.UK website

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what work her Department has undertaken with international partners on access to sources of data that can be used to enhance the security of the UK border.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what work her Department has undertaken with international partners on access to sources of data that can be used to enhance the security of the UK border.
The Government works multilaterally and bilaterally with foreign governments, international law enforcement partners and security agencies to share data in order to strengthen the UK border against a range of security threats. The UK uses Interpol’s Stolen and Lost Travel Documents Database to identify individuals trying to enter the UK on such documents.
Since April 2015, the UK has also had access to the Schengen Information System which allows us intercept individuals at the border who are subject to a European Arrest Warrant. The Government also works with the global carrier industry to process passenger and crew information to inform border security decisions in advance of travel to or from the UK and at the border.
It is worth putting it on the record that the Prüm decisions are caveated by national law. Article 12 states that the searches must be conducted
“in compliance with the searching Member State’s national law.”

In making his point, my hon. Friend conflates two different things. The Prüm process that we are contemplating is an automatic one: in effect, it is a means, a system or a portal through which member states can search information held by other member states. Interpol processes are much more...

The Home Office continues to work with other departments to ensure that the criteria for assessing an EU national’s right of residence in order, for example, to gain access to a public service or benefit is made in line with EU free movement law. This information may be recorded in line with the relevant local authorities’ processes.
What assessment she has made of the risks to the UK from gaps in communications data capability.
What assessment she has made of the risks to the UK from gaps in communications data capability.
Our law enforcement and intelligence agencies continue to face a decline in their ability to obtain the communications data they need. This is caused by the use of modern technology and changes in the way in which people communicate. We believe that further changes to the law are needed to maintain capabilities. We cannot let cyberspace become a haven for terrorists and criminals.
