Written Answers
Police: Lie Detectors
Asked by: Lord Anderson of Ipswich (Crossbench - Life peer)
Wednesday 5th August 2026

Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the effectiveness of police use of polygraph tests for (1) informing investigations, (2) use as evidence in court, (3) risk assessment purposes, (4) domestic abuse cases and investigations, (5) sexual offence cases and investigations, and (6) terrorism cases and investigations.

Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Home Office does not centrally collect data on the number of police forces using polygraph tests, the frequency of their use, or their application in specific investigation types. Police forces are operationally independent of Government, and it is for chief constables, working with locally elected Police and Crime Commissioners, to determine how best to deploy resources and operational tools.

The Home Office has commissioned research to explore the use of credibility assessment tools within offender management settings. This work identified that credibility assessment tools including polygraphs are being used in some policing and offender management contexts for risk management and intelligence-gathering, rather than evidential purposes. The research identified variation in adoption and use, as well as challenges relating to resources, training, validation and governance.

Through a focused law enforcement working group on Credibility Assessment, stakeholders from policing, the Ministry of Justice and the National Crime Agency have also discussed the need for robust validation, governance and standards surrounding the use of credibility assessment tools to ensure any wider adoption is evidence-led and consistent across organisations, helping to improve understanding of the key considerations associated with their use.
