Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people with an electronic monitoring requirement have been released from prison under the changes to release points in the Sentencing Act 2026 since 1 October 2026; and how many were (a) tagged before release, (b) tagged on the day of release, (c) tagged within seven days of release and (d) have not been tagged.

The Ministry of Justice routinely publishes Official Statistics on electronic monitoring and on prisoner releases, as part of the Electronic Monitoring Statistics Quarterly and Offender Management Statistics Quarterly publications. The requested information forms a subset of the data underpinning total release statistics and monitoring statistics intended for future publication and, therefore, cannot be disclosed.
