HC Deb 03 July 1996 vol 280 c486W
Lady Olga Maitland

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on his proposals to require sex offenders to notify the police of any change of address in Scotland. [34177]

Mr. Michael Forsyth

The White Paper, "Crime and Punishment" published on 17 June, set out my proposals to ensure that convicted sex offenders should be required to register their address with the police. I hope to introduce legislation for this purpose as soon as possible.
