Sexual Offences
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Justice which areas have been selected as pilot schemes for compulsory polygraph tests as a management tool to control sex offenders; and if he will make a statement.

The terms for a pilot of mandatory polygraph testing of certain sex offenders on licensed release from custody, including which areas will participate in the pilots, have yet to be finalised.
