Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when the review into registered sex offenders changing their name through deed poll will be published.
Protecting the public from sex offenders and other dangerous criminals is a top priority for the Government. We are committed to ensuring that the system and the monitoring that underpins the management of these offenders is as robust as it can be, and that the relevant safeguards are in place.
The review of offenders and name changes is nearing completion. As it is an internal review there are no plans to publish the findings, however, these will be used to inform future policy making.
