We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Allow the Polygraph Test to be used in the Court of Law
We would like the law to be changed to allow the use of Polygraphs / Eye Detect tests as evidence to prove innocence in trials and appeals.
More details
The Polygraph Test (lie detector) has been used since 2013 to monitor Sex Offenders by the National Probation Service. They are used to monitor compliance with licence conditions.
A trial is now underway to monitor Domestic Abuse perpetrators using the same methods
We are asking Parliament to extend and enshrine in UK law to allow the Polygraph Test to be used as evidence in trials and appeals to determine innocence.
We the undersigned are asking Parliament to change the law and give people justice.
There are many people currently serving long sentences for crimes they did not commit. This is a way forward to prove their innocence and for justice to be served
