Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what estimate he has made of the savings to the public purse of out-sourcing electronic tagging for ex-offenders.
Electronic Monitoring is an important tool to improve supervision in the community and support offenders to change their lives. The Electronic Monitoring service has always been delivered using a contracted infrastructure. Estimating the cost of a public sector delivery model could only be provided at a disproportionate cost.
