HC Deb 19 September 2003 vol 410 c1209W
Norman Baker

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what his policy is on the installation by private individuals on their property of CCTV cameras to monitor public areas. [129245]

Ms Blears

While the Home Office supports the installation by private individuals of CCTV cameras, and other appropriate security measures, to protect their property, we do not support the installation by private individuals of cameras that monitor or overlook public areas.
