First Surveillance Camera Commissioner appointed

The Home Office has appointed Andrew Rennison as the first ever Surveillance Camera Commissioner. The new post was created by the Protection of Freedoms Act.

The new commissioner's first task will be to report back to Parliament on how CCTV and automatic number plate recognition cameras (ANPR) are being used, before publishing a new voluntary code of practice in April next year. The ICO will be working closely with the new commissioner to support his role.
