HC Deb 03 July 1996 vol 280 c480W
16. Mr. Congdon

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on his proposals to give the courts new powers to impose curfew orders, monitored by electronic tags. [34186]

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

We believe that electronically monitored orders could usefully add to the range of sentencing options available to the Scottish courts. We look forward to introducing legislative proposals which will offer the Scottish courts this new disposal.
