Asylum: Artificial Intelligence
Asked by: Bell Ribeiro-Addy (Labour - Clapham and Brixton Hill) Friday 17th April 2026 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what oversight mechanisms are in place to monitor the use of ACS and APS tools; and whether any independent audits have been (a) conducted and (b) planned. Answered by Alex Norris - Minister of State (Home Office) All members of the Department were required to complete a mandatory 'AI for all' learning package in 2025. All caseworkers were given comprehensive training on the use of APS before it was operationalised. Both ACS and APS underwent user acceptance testing and evaluation was conducted following pilots of both tools. A specific inbox was set up for Decision Makers to feed back any issues found with the tool. All questions asked of the tool, have and will be logged, and are auditable. Subject Matter Expert (SME) testing continues after operationalisation, in conjunction with the CPIT (Country Policy & Information Team) for APS. ACS has not yet been operationalised, but our Analysis and Insight team plan to conduct further follow up evaluations in due course. |

Asked by: Bell Ribeiro-Addy (Labour - Clapham and Brixton Hill) Friday 17th April 2026 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what training has been provided to caseworkers on the use of AI-supported tools during the pilot phase of ACS and APS.

Police: Biometrics
Asked by: Bell Ribeiro-Addy (Labour - Clapham and Brixton Hill) Monday 20th April 2026 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the proportionality of the police using live facial recognition technology to identify suspects for low-level offences. Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office) The Home Office has not formally assessed the potential impact of police facial recognition cameras on levels of local crime rates or effectiveness against traditional policing methods. However, when the Government introduces legislation on a new framework this will be accompanied by an impact assessment. This will include consideration of operational benefits, costs and wider impacts, alongside legal, ethical and equality considerations. When using live facial recognition, police forces must comply with existing legal obligations including the requirement that its use is necessary and proportionate to a specific policing objective. National guidance issued by the College of Policing requires forces to define the purpose of a deployment in advance and ensure watchlists are focused and limited to appropriate categories of people, which may include wanted individuals, suspects, missing or vulnerable people, or those posing risks. Watchlists must be tailored to the policing objective and reviewed before each deployment to ensure the legal tests of necessity and proportionality are met. Last year, we launched a public consultation on when and how biometrics, facial recognition and similar technologies should be used by law enforcement, and what safeguards and oversight are needed. This consultation included questions on when the use of such technologies should be considered necessary and proportionate. We are currently considering the responses, which will inform the scope and content of any legal changes brought before Parliament |

Asked by: Bell Ribeiro-Addy (Labour - Clapham and Brixton Hill) Monday 20th April 2026 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what comparative assessment she has made of the cost effectiveness of facial recognition technology when compared against traditional policing methods.

Police: Biometrics
Asked by: Bell Ribeiro-Addy (Labour - Clapham and Brixton Hill) Monday 20th April 2026 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether police facial recognition technology is being used in conjunction with (a) body-worn video and (b) drones. Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office) The Government supports police innovation, including the responsible use of facial recognition technologies. The Government recognises that facial recognition and similar technologies can support the police to prevent and detect crime and protect the public, when used appropriately and responsibly. Police forces must comply with the existing legal framework for any use of facial recognition technology. As part of this, any use of facial recognition technology must be necessary and proportionate to a specific policing objective. The Home Office launched a public consultation which closed on 12 February 2026 on when and how biometrics, facial recognition and similar technologies should be used by law enforcement, and what safeguards and oversight are needed. This consultation included questions on when the use of such technologies should be considered necessary and proportionate. We are currently considering the responses, which will inform the scope and content of any legal changes brought before Parliament. However, there are currently no plans for the Government to fund body worn video or drone projects in relation to facial recognition technologies. |

Universal Credit
Asked by: Bell Ribeiro-Addy (Labour - Clapham and Brixton Hill) Thursday 23rd April 2026 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the publication of Trussell’s End of Year food bank stats, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that Universal Credit’s standard allowance covers essential costs. Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) The Government has taken important steps to improve the support available to help people with the cost of essentials and has legislated to deliver the first sustained above inflation rise in the basic rate of Universal Credit since it was introduced. In April 2026, the standard allowance rose by 3.8% in line with the Consumer Prices Index to September 2025, followed by a further 2.3%, meaning a single person aged 25 or over will receive around £295 more this year - over £110 more than if uprated by inflation alone.
Additional amounts are added to provide for individual needs such as housing, disability, and childcare costs. Each household will always have different requirements depending on their circumstances.
We will continue to consider evidence and insights from a range of organisations and people with lived experiences, to ensure the social security system provides the support people need.
The Government recognises that the level of household food insecurity in the UK is unacceptable. We have announced action to expand free school meals, support parents with the cost of healthy food in the school holidays with the Holidays and Activities and Food Programme and transform our food system to ensure it delivers access to affordable, healthy food. Over £600m has been confirmed for the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme for the next three financial years from 2026/27.
Government has also taken further action to support low-income households including through the increase in the National Living Wage to £12.71 an hour from April 2026.
On 1 April 2026 we launched a new Crisis and Resilience Fund. This longer-term funding approach aims to enable local authorities to provide preventative support to communities – working with the voluntary and community sector – as well as assisting people when faced with a financial crisis, to support our ambition to end mass dependence on emergency food parcels. |

Universal Credit
Asked by: Bell Ribeiro-Addy (Labour - Clapham and Brixton Hill) Thursday 23rd April 2026 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether he has considered commissioning independent advice, including from people with direct experience of living on a low income, on the adequacy of Universal Credit’s standard allowance. Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) The Government has taken important steps to improve the support available to help people with the cost of essentials and has legislated to deliver the first sustained above inflation rise in the basic rate of Universal Credit since it was introduced.

Police: Biometrics
Asked by: Bell Ribeiro-Addy (Labour - Clapham and Brixton Hill) Friday 24th April 2026 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what guidance is in place relating to the quality of images required for facial recognition searches using the police national database, in the context of composite photofit images. Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office) Guidance for forces using the Police National Database is provided through the National Police Chiefs’ Council and the College of Policing and reflects established standards relating to the capture, handling, and use of facial images. This includes consideration of image quality and the need to manage the risk of misidentification. Any potential matches are reviewed by trained officers and must be corroborated before any operational or investigatory action is taken. Police forces must have regard to the Home Secretary’s Surveillance Camera Code of Practice, which sets out expectations for the use of surveillance camera systems and includes requirements around necessity, proportionality, and appropriate safeguards. Individual police forces remain responsible for local policies and procedures in line with national guidance and the law. |
