previous parent / parent changednone. The July 2026 machinery-of-government changes did not move the Home Office; digital identity policy moved from DSIT to DCMS and the Government Digital Service now sits in DCMS (see rules context).

blurbThe department for policing, borders, immigration, asylum and security; it funds the new national centre for AI in policing, runs facial recognition at the border and in Immigration Enforcement, and sponsors the two Home Office records on the ATRS register.

website still shows old brandingno. The organisation page says "Home Office is a ministerial department, supported by 30 agencies and public bodies." It names no DSIT dependency. (ATRS record pages still list "Department for Science, Innovation and Technology" among publishing organisations.)

Gaps the research left open

11Shown as gaps, never filled in by guesswork. Supplement 1 (the second pass) closed some; they are listed below.

The ATRS organisation filter URLs (`?organisations%5B%5D=home-office`, `west-midlands-police`, `hampshire-and-thames-valley-police`) returned the unfiltered register through WebFetch, and the GOV.UK search API tags ATRS records to Cabinet Office/DSIT/GDS, so the filter returns zero. I read all four register pages instead. Home Office family records found: DBS Barring Referral AI Summary Tool; CARS(V). Police: West Midlands; Hampshire and Thames Valley DARAT. No "Identity Verification / Right to Work" record, no asylum AI tool record, and no Border Force record exists on the register as of 28 October 2026.
Asylum AI tools (e.g. case summarisation or policy search pilots) were not named on any ICIBI or Home Office page opened; the ICIBI asylum casework report PDFs (44 and 88 pages) were not read. Not found; not asserted.
eVisa: the GOV.UK search API query for "eVisa" returned 106 results but the first 15 had no eVisa title; the eVisa guidance page was not opened. Not asserted.
The "Police use of AI" factsheet's HTML version returned a client error; only its section headings are recorded.
Online Safety Act 2023 AI-generated CSAM provisions: the OSA text was not opened; only the Crime and Policing Act s. 248 power and the factsheet references are recorded.
HMICFRS organisation page failed to load; no AI reports verified. Police Digital Service: no page opened. NPCC and College of Policing own sites not opened (facts taken from GOV.UK and science.police.uk).
Home Office "Digital, Data and Technology" naming: the GOV.UK governance page names only "Director General, Digital and Innovation"; "DDaT" appears only in the Civil Service World article (secondary).
Met LFR: the Met's own pages were used; no Home Office page on the Met's deployments was found. The "West End" static-camera rollout referenced in search snippets was not verified on a Met page.
Border Security Command: no AI or data content on its GOV.UK pages beyond the data annex title; the annual report PDF was not read.
The consultation outcome on facial recognition law and the Police Reform Bill: no GOV.UK bill page found as of 28 October 2026.
WebSearch calls used: 10 of 12.
