Sex offenders

Asked if the Prime Minister was concerned that sex offenders would be able to appeal and be taken off the sex offenders register after the court ruling, the Prime Minister’s Spokesman (PMS) said the last thing we wanted to see was these people disappearing off the radar. We had some very tough restrictions in place in this country and we were not intending to let our guard down. We were already looking at the system and the way it operated.

The PMS said we were trying to think of how we could close existing loop holes, for example, we would be making it compulsory for sex offenders to report to the authorities before travelling abroad in future. There were various issues with the present system which were currently under review.
