answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/03/2017 answer text <p>We do not hold data on reason for recall centrally. Failure to attend appointments would be recorded as either the generic ‘failure to comply’ or the specific ‘failure to register’ where the recall was related to failing to attend the initial post-release appointment. It would not be possible to collate how many of the ‘failure to comply/register’ recalls were in relation to breached curfews without checking each individual case. The information therefore can only be obtained at disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 17/03/2017 14:42:12 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
