Sex Offenders Register

Hugh Bayley: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will bring forward measures to change the law to allow people convicted of child abduction to be included on the sex offenders register. [106370]

Mr. Coaker: We have undertaken a review of the offences listed in schedules 3 and 5 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003, whereby if someone has been convicted of one of those offences, they may be made subject to the notification requirements (commonly referred to as the “sex offenders register”). As part of the review, we have become aware of concerns that child abduction should be added to the list of relevant offences. We are currently finalising an Order amending the list of offences in schedules 3 and 5 of the 2003 Act, which we will lay as soon as possible.

Statements: Disabled People

Paul Holmes: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many police forces have facilities in place to take statements from (a) partially sighted, (b) blind and (c) deaf people. [102467]

Mr. McNulty: The Home Office does not maintain information on such facilities, which are a matter for the force concerned.
