This bill proposes putting a temporary stop to automated facial recognition technology used by UK police and government bodies. It calls for an independent review to examine whether the technology works fairly, whether it might discriminate against certain groups, and whether it properly protects people's privacy before it can be used again.

Presented by Lord Clement-Jones.
