Taking of fingerprints and samples: England and Wales

Section 4: Information to be given on taking of material

41.Section 4 re-enacts the provisions in PACE relating to the information given to those from whom biometric data are taken without consent, with modifications, and applies these provisions to the new powers to take biometric data. In relation to fingerprints and non-intimate samples, the result is that a person must be informed of the reason for taking the biometric data, the power being used, and the fact that authorisation has been given (where authorisation is necessary). A police officer (or designated detention officer) must also inform the person that his data will be subject to a speculative search (in other words that the reference samples will be compared with those already on the existing databases). Those matters must then be recorded as soon as practicable after the data has been taken. Similar information and recording requirements apply in relation to the taking of intimate samples as well as a requirement to record the fact that the person gave their consent to the intimate sample being taken. In relation to the taking of intimate and non-intimate samples prior to conviction, the existing requirement to specify the nature of the offence in which it is suspected that the person has been involved is preserved.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
