§ Lady HermonTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what proposals he has to introduce electronic tagging for certain categories of criminals in Northern Ireland. [84478]
§ Mr. BrowneI have no immediate proposals to introduce the electronic tagging of criminals. The Criminal Justice Review recommended that electronic monitoring be kept under review in the light of developing experience elsewhere, including in England and Wales. The issue is currently being considered as part of a review of the Northern Ireland sentencing framework.
