Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment she has made of the implications for her policies on the storage by police of custody images of people who have not been convicted of the judgment in RMC and FJ v Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis and Secretary of State for the Home Department [2012] EWHC 1681 (Admin).
Answered by Chris Philp - Minister of State (Home Office)
It is police forces’ responsibility to comply with the judgment.
Since the judgment those not convicted of an offence have the right to request deletion of their custody image, with a presumption in favour, and the police have issued guidance for people in custody setting out those rights.

Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many custody images of people who have not been convicted of a crime are stored in the Police National Database.
Answered by Chris Philp - Minister of State (Home Office)
The Police National Database (PND) hold custody records, including facial images, that are a copy of custody records held by forces. It does not process these records and has no mechanism to identify which custody records progressed to conviction or ‘No Further Action’ on the local force system as it does not hold information of how offences are subsequently disposed (this information resides on PNC, but not PND).
College of Policing Authorised Professional Practice sets our the basis upon which Police Forces retain custody images, which individual Forces then apply locally.
