HC Deb 22 April 2002 vol 384 c36W
Dr. Gibson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many tagged offenders have re-offended in Norfolk following release from prison. [47070]

Beverley Hughes

The data requested are not readily available. To provide a geographical breakdown of re-offending would incur a disproportionate cost. However, less than 2 per cent. of offenders placed on the home detention curfew scheme across the country have been reported as committing a further offence. This low figure would suggest that the scheme is operating effectively.
