Asked by:
Anne McLaughlin (Scottish National Party - Glasgow North East)
Question
to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to Answer of 23 June to Question 21222, what the estimated cost to the public purse is of the pilot scheme to electronically monitor asylum claimants who arrive in the UK per person, per month.
Answered by Kevin Foster
The estimated cost for the pilot is £5.942m. This is an allocated sum for the duration of the pilot and not an annual budget. It will be reviewed at the conclusion of the pilot.
Given the uncertainty on the exact number of individuals who will be suitable for tagging and the duration in which they will be subject to electronic monitoring, we are unable to provide a breakdown of costs at this time.
