Electronic Tagging: Standards

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 14 May 2025 to Question 46823 on Electronic Tagging: Standards, what reason was given for the 10,438 untagged cases audited by probation between January and March 2025.

Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin

The 10,438 offenders reported as untagged is misleading. It includes duplicates and errors that have not been corrected through our audit and quality assurance processes which are currently underway.

The information requested through the PQ could only be obtained at disproportionate cost due to data quality issues.
