Exc: Fury as SNP block UK plans to give terrorists lie detector tests as part of parole conditions. Westminster V Edinburgh row erupts as Scottish Govt rejects expert advice: thesun.co.uk/news/12566510/…
Last night UK’s independent reviewer of terror legislation Jonathan Hall QC published long awaited report into failings. He said: “Polygraph testing is a sensible additional tool for obtaining information relevant to risk posed by Terrorist Offenders.” thesun.co.uk/news/12566510/…
But SNP Justice Minister says he knows best. Tells MoJ in letter that he is "unconvinced by policy merits of the use of polygraph in Scotland”. thesun.co.uk/news/12566510/…
Tory MP Andrew Bowie doesn’t hold back: “When you look back on the history of the SNP and terrorists - not least the release of the Lockerbie bomber - they have consistently been weak on protecting the safety of Scots.” thesun.co.uk/news/12566510/…
Here is what the independent reviewer of terror legislation says about using polygraph to help stop terrorist reoffenders.. but as he has UK in title he apparently doesn’t count.

A Whitehall source said "there was 100 per cent legal attrition rate on the flight due to unprecedented and organised casework barriers sprung on the government by three law firms."
HO: "efforts to facilitate entirely legitimate and legal returns of people who have entered the U.K. through illegal routes are too often frustrated by last minute challenges submitted hours before a scheduled flight."
