	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/04/2018 answer text <p>The Home Office uses a number of tools to ensure that the vast majority of individuals who are liable to removal from the UK are managed in the community. These include reporting mechanisms, a new simplified immigration bail, and electronic monitoring for some foreign national offenders.</p><p>We regularly review our practices, taking account of external research into alternatives to detention.
