HC Deb 23 March 2000 vol 346 c675W
Mr. Lidington

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proportion of offenders released on the Home Detention Curfew scheme have re-offended after completing the scheme; and if he will make a statement. [115967]

Mr. Boateng

Information about offences committed by offenders who have completed a period on the Home Detention Curfew scheme is not held centrally. However, an evaluation of the Home Detention Curfew scheme is being carried out by the Research, Development and Statistics Directorate of the Home Office. It will include an analysis, based upon a sampling exercise, of reconviction of curfewees both during and after the curfew period. Results will be published later this year.
