John Reid department's is under fire again.
Police forces across the UK have lost track of the whereabouts of 322 convicted sex offenders, a newspaper has reported.
Using the Freedom of Information Act, the News of the World asked all 50 forces in England and Wales how many sex offenders are missing.
They are required to inform police and probation officers of their addresses.
The Home Office said the sex offenders' register was a "powerful operational tool" which had a 97% compliance rate.

Paedophiles to take lie tests
The Metropolitan Police confirmed 88 offenders from London were missing.
But a spokeswoman refused to say how long their whereabouts had been unknown or give any details of their crimes.
'Shocked'
She said the figure of 88 was low compared with the total number of registered sex offenders in the Metropolitan force area, but refused to say what that total was.
She said police were taking "pro-active" steps to try to trace the missing offenders.
The News of the World investigation also revealed West Midlands Police had lost 25 sex offenders and Greater Manchester 18.
