Electronic Tagging
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many and what proportion of people under electronic monitoring broke the conditions of their release in each year since 2015.
Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin
To establish the number and proportion of those with an electronic monitoring requirement that have broken their electronic monitoring condition, or other licence conditions, since 2015 would require a trawl through thousands of individual case records held on prison and probation systems. Such information could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost.
