Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps his Department is taking to ensure effective and timely reporting of electronic monitoring breaches to police and probation officers.

Serco, the Electronic Monitoring provider, are measured against two Key Performance Indicators in terms of breach and non-compliance notifications. They have consistently met or exceeded the contractual expectation for both measures since January 2026.

We are actively working with partners to improve data and evidence; improve information quality; reduce unnecessary notifications; and in the longer term consider digital approaches to improve processes and save staff time in both non-bail and court bail cases.
