London Assembly member, Sian Berry , who is co-leader of the England and Wales Green Party , added that the Mets report "raises more questions than it answers".

"you have now admitted that they claimed to have signed a new data-sharing-contract in January, that the face detection has been included by error, but I want to know what else could be shared and why this could happen so recently, with so much concern about the face-recognition among The Public at This Time ," She Said .
