Compulsory lie detector tests are set be introduced to monitor convicted sex offenders under a change to the law due to be approved later.
MPs will debate the relevant legislation in the House of Commons and are expected to approve routine use of polygraph screening for the most serious offenders across England and Wales from next year.
If convicted rapists or other dangerous sex attackers are found to have lied about crucial matters or breached the terms of their licence after being released from jail they could be sent back to prison.
Justice Minister Jeremy Wright issued a statement saying: "Introducing lie detector tests, alongside the sex offenders register and close monitoring in the community, will give us one of the toughest approaches in the world to managing this group.
"We recently announced the creation of a new National Probation Service tasked with protecting the public from the most high-risk offenders.
"They will be able to call on this technology to help stop sex offenders from reoffending and leaving more innocent victims in their wake."
The Government aims to roll out the tests next spring, subject to the parliamentary timetable.
The move follows a successful pilot scheme in the Midlands. Trials in two areas found the tests made sex criminals more open with probation officers.
Polygraph tests measure blood pressure, heart rate, breathing and levels of perspiration.
These vital signs display subtle changes when someone is deliberately evasive and polygraph experts can usually determine if that person is lying.
Studies have shown that polygraphs are accurate around 85% of the time.
The method is widely used in the US, with 19 states using lie detector tests in criminal cases, including during court testimonies.
