Can't add Lock Screen widgets to Sony Xperia Tablet Z (running Android 4.2.2)

Hi,

No matter what, I can't add widgets to the lock screen on my tablet running the latest 4.2.2 update.

I have googled the userguide and it says to do the following to add widgets to the lock screen

Using the lock screen
You can add new panes to your Home screen even when the screen is locked. You
can also add widgets to these panes when you create them. You can then access
these widgets when the screen is locked by swiping to the right on the screen.
To take a photo from the lock screen
1 To activate the screen, briefly press the power key .
2 To activate the camera, swipe to the left in the upper part of the screen.
3 After the camera opens, tap .
To add a new pane and widget when the screen is locked
1 To activate the screen, briefly press the power key .
2 Swipe to the right, then tap to add a new pane.
3 Find and tap the widget that you want to add.
You can only add one widget per pane when the screen is locked

However this does not work as swiping right or left does not bring up the '+' button to add a widget. Has anyone else got this problem or knows how to fix it ?

Thanks
