The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress has she made in implementing the Police National Database programme.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The Police National Database (PND) has been operational for almost 15 years and continues to provide vital intelligence to policing and law enforcement. The replacement of the PND remains a core consideration for the Home Office and policing.

The Home Office is currently considering a variety of options for future delivery of the PND transformation programme and further information will be issued once a decision has been taken.
