Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prisoners released on home curfew were not tagged for the entirety of their monitoring period in the most recent period for which data is available.

The number of prisoners released on Home Detention Curfew (HDC) where a tag had not been fitted for the entirety of their monitoring period can be found in the attached at Annex A.

All prisoners released on HDC are subject to a statutory electronically monitored curfew. The requested information is routinely published as part of the department’s Offender Management Statistics Quarterly publication. The most recent published data (covering the period October to December 2024) can be found in Table 3_Q_10 here:
