Oliver Hides takes your calls on facial recognition, wood-burning stoves and unusual house finds.

How would you feel if police used facial recognition more widely? Should wood-burning stoves be banned in Wales? And have you found something unusual when clearing your home?

Facial recognition technology could be used more often by UK police forces, according to new plans announced by the Home Office. Policing and crime minister Sarah Jones said a widespread rollout of the equipment could mark "the biggest breakthrough" in catching criminals since DNA matching. People are being asked for their views on its use, as part of a 10-week consultation launched on Thursday, possibly paving the way for new laws. How do you feel about it? Do the cameras make you feel protected or preyed on?

The rules governing wood-burning stoves could be tightened in England. The Government is consulting on a new "environmental improvement plan" - which could put limits on the types of stove allowed, and where in the country you can burn wood. But any changes in Wales would fall to the Welsh Government and local authorities. So, should wood burning stoves be banned in Wales?

Have you found something unusual when clearing out your home? Conservators restoring paintings at Blenheim Palace found 11 names scribbled high up in the Great Hall of the stately home, and are now looking to track down the relatives of the people whose names have been found.
