To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether the relevant foreign police force is informed in cases where a member of the armed forces who has been convicted of an offence and placed on the (a) Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements and (b) sex offender register is subsequently posted overseas.
holding answer
No. Recording on the violent and sex offenders register is a United Kingdom requirement under the Sexual Offences Act 2003. This legislation does not require a government to inform an overseas police force of someone who has been required to register who is then posted to that country.
