Further Update
It is also worthy of note that there is continuing political debate on the topic and on 14 November MPs debated the use of LFR with a view to regulating it with specific laws. A strategic listening exercise/UK national conversation on LFR with key stakeholders, regulators and civil society is being arranged, with representation from the Scottish Biometrics Commissioner’s office.
The SLWG will continue to monitor these developments and ensure that this is joined up with the Scottish context.
