HC Deb 08 February 1999 vol 325 c93W
Mr. Clappison

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prisoners released on home detention curfew on or since 28 January have been returned to custody to date(a) as a result of offending and (b) for other reasons. [70021]

Mr. George Howarth

As of 7 February, 392 prisoners have been made subject to Home Detention Curfew. Four of these prisoners have had their licences revoked and been recalled to prison. Two of these recalls were as a result of a failure to comply with the curfew conditions. One recall was due to an inability to monitor the prisoner's whereabouts and one was in order to protect the public from serious harm. One of the two prisoners recalled for failing to comply with the curfew condition has been charged with a further offence.
