Offenders: Electronic Tagging

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether the Ministry of Justice has made an estimate of the volume of police activity arising from electronic monitoring and bail-tag breaches; and whether this information is available at police force area level.

Answer

The Ministry of Justice does not hold data on individual police forces. However, the Department works closely with the National Police Chiefs Council through a dedicated liaison embedded in HMPPS on a range of common challenges, including Electronic Monitoring of bail cases.
