www.theguardian.com/society/2014/mar/10/...-benefits-fraudsters:
More than 20 councils have used or plan to use controversial lie detector tests to catch fraudulent benefits claimants, despite the government dropping the technology because it was found to be not sufficiently reliable.

Responding to freedom of information (FOI) requests, 24 local authorities confirmed they had employed or were considering the use of "voice risk analysis" (VRA) software, which its makers say can pick out fraudulent claimants by listening in on calls and identifying signs of stress.

Although in 2010 the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) announced it had given up VRA software, the FOI responses show councils have been spending, in some cases, millions of pounds on the technology

This use is irrelevant - it can only be used for statistical purposes.
They cannot be used unless a caution is issued prior to use.
Whenever I receive an unsolicited telephone call I fabricate on principle, I wax lyrical to the bestest of my ability. Why?Because I can.
And these un-solicited callers lie throught their arses and to tell the truth would be a distinct disadvantage to myself.
I would never lie to a real, live, honourable human being - but telling an untruth to a corporation,,,,,which does not really exist...is cathartic to say the least.
Obviously I would not lie in a Bona-Fide contract - that would not be lawful. :D

The best bit is all the millions in equipment and training in it, in order to er....save the tax payers money from waste and corruption.

i.e. money to Capita, or was it Digilog,. No actually the Israeli company Nemesysco
