Mr. Lidington: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the basis is for the statement on page 35 of the Government's Annual report 1999-2000, that tagging and curfews are more effective ways of punishing offenders; to what Government initiatives this statement refers; and if he will make a statement. [131379] Mr. Boateng: [holding answer 18 July 2000]: The introduction of curfew orders enforced by electronic monitoring as a sentence to all courts in England and Wales on 1 December 1999 built on four years of successful trials. Home Office research has shown that the successful completion rate of 82 per cent. during the first two years of the trials of the sentence compared favourably with other community sentences (the completion rate for probation orders was also 82 per cent., while that for community service was 71 per cent.). The evaluation of the trials found that curfew orders were more strictly enforced than other community sentences, a fact that places greater value on rate of completion. The primary reason for this is the fact that the electronic monitoring contracts leave little discretion in the enforcement of breaches. The monitoring equipment ensures that violations of curfew are detected immediately, and offenders in breach of their order are very quickly returned to court by the contractors. Curfew orders enforced by electronic monitoring provide the courts with a flexible sentencing option for use in respect of those offences for which the sentence is not fixed by law. Firstly, as a stand-alone sentence, it provides the punitive element of restricting an offender's liberty during the period of the curfew, while enabling those who have families to support to continue to do so. A curfew order can also be used in conjunction with another community sentence to help structure the times of attendance at, for example, probation or drug rehabilitation appointments. The trials of the sentence demonstrated that in this way, electronic monitoring could help to address the chaotic lifestyle of some offenders. Given the operational effectiveness of curfew orders enforced by electronic monitoring, the sentence can also be shown to provide a cost-effective alternative to a custodial sentence. The operation of the sentence in England and Wales is the subject of an evaluation by the Home Office Research, Development and Statistics Directorate. The findings of the evaluation of the first two years of the trials of curfew orders enforced by electronic monitoring are published in Home Office Research Study 163 and 177.

Mr. Lidington: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) if he will make a statement on the agreement reached at the EU Justice and Home Affairs Council meeting on 27 March to introduce an EU-wide minimum prison sentence for counterfeiting the euro; what plans he has to implement that decision; what estimate he has made of the cost to public funds; and if he will make a statement; [118075] (2) if he will place in the Library a copy of the framework decision on the protection of the euro against counterfeiting discussed at the EU Justice and Home Affairs Council meeting on 27 March; [118068] (3) what were the accompanying measures aimed at supporting the objectives of the framework decision in respect of the criminal sanctions against counterfeiting of the euro, announced by Commissioner Vitorino at the EU Justice and Home Affairs Council meeting on 27 March; [118069] (4) what plans Her Majesty's Government have to make it a criminal offence in (a) England and Wales, (b) Scotland and (c) Northern Ireland to counterfeit the euro; and if he will make a statement. [118078] Mr. Boateng: I am placing in the Library a copy of the draft framework decision as deposited for Scrutiny. Article 6(2) of the draft framework decision provides that offences of fraudulent making, shall be punishable by terms of imprisonment, the maximum being not less than eight years. The maximum term of imprisonment already provided for these offences under existing United Kingdom legislation is 10 years. Article 6 of the framework decision will not, therefore, require new legislation or result in any additional costs. In all parts of the United Kingdom it is already a criminal offence to counterfeit any currency which is customarily used as money, including the euro. The Commission has indicated that it plans to bring forward a number of accompanying measures aimed at supporting the objectives of the framework decision in the area of judicial co-operation, exchange of information and training. The Commission hopes to make a formal proposal to this effect during the Portuguese Presidency.
