Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 1 May 2025 to Question 46823, on Electronic Tagging: Standards, what estimate she has made of the number of offenders who were not tagged because the Probation Service held an incorrect address for them in the last two years.

The information requested could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.

However, of the 10,438 untagged cases audited by probation between 01/01/25 and 31/03/25, eight referred to the tagging provider having visited the wrong address as a result of the provision of the wrong address by the sentencing Court or releasing prison. The incorrect addresses have been corrected on EMS systems.
