Mrs. Ray Michie

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what has been the expenditure on electronic tagging in Scotland to date. [17692]

There has been no expenditure on electronic tagging in Scotland. Expenditure on pilot projects will not commence until such time as the relevant provisions of the Crime and Punishment (Scotland) Bill have been enacted.
