## Summary

Ministers are considering restricting smart glasses in places such as swimming pools and changing rooms, amid concerns they are being used to film women without consent. The plans form part of the Government’s effort to tackle violence against women and girls, while recognising that some people use the technology to support sight or hearing.

In a parliamentary debate, Liberal Democrat MP Anna Sabine said footage filmed covertly after nights out had appeared online, sometimes for profit, and warned that some sellers remove the glasses’ recording light. Home Office minister Satvir Kaur said options were being considered “at pace” for certain settings or users. The Liberal Democrats want convicted sex offenders barred from buying the glasses, while Conservative Alicia Kearns cautioned against broad bans and called for stronger laws against covert filming; some Australian councils have already restricted glasses in pools and changing rooms.
