Written Question
Sexual Offences
Monday 19th January 2015

Asked by: Andrew Griffiths (Conservative - Burton)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what information her Department holds on the number of registered sex offenders who travel abroad each year.

Answered by Baroness Featherstone

Public protection is a priority for this government, and the notification requirements for registered sex offenders form an invaluable tool in the management of offenders within the community. The UK has some of the toughest
powers in the world to deal with sex offenders and we are committed to ensuring that the system is as robust as it can be.

In 2012 this government extended and strengthened the system, including requiring offenders subject to the to the notification requirements to notify the police of all foreign travel.

Registered sex offenders are managed by the local police force, and data on the number of registered sex offenders who travel abroad are not held centrally.
