To ask Her Majesty's Government whether any (a) foreign intelligence agencies and (b) foreign law enforcement agencies have authorised access to the United Kingdom's DNA and fingerprint databases; and whether they are considering granting any such agencies access in future. [HL135]

I refer the noble Baroness to my letter to Lord Ahmed dated 23 November, entitled: “Parliamentary Question Nos HL6309 and HL6310 on DNA and fingerprint retention under terrorism powers”. A copy has been placed in the House Library.
