Offenders: Electronic Tagging

Asked by Bradley ThomasConservativeMinistry of JusticeTabled Answered 8 September 2026UIN 24257

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps his Department is taking to ensure Local Criminal Justice Boards can access local electronic monitoring data, specifically (a) individuals subject to monitoring, (b) outstanding tagging installations, (c) breach notifications and officer alerts, and (d) enforcement outcomes following breaches.

Answered by Ministry of Justice

Current Local Criminal Justice Board guidance encourages criminal justice partners to share the data and analysis that the Boards need to understand local performance, emerging trends and cross-system challenges.

Sir Brian Leveson’s Independent Review of the Criminal Courts highlighted the importance of the Boards in supporting effective local criminal justice delivery and made recommendations relating to their future role and operation. The Government is considering these recommendations as part of its wider response to the Review.
