The appropriate authorities decide, based on the evidence, whether the non-compliance event constitutes a breach and if so what action should be taken. The nature of breaches vary, and not all non-compliance events are classed as formal breaches requiring further action. For example, if the subject was at hospital or in custody at the time, and therefore unable to return to their curfew location in time for their curfew. While the majority of non-compliance events will generate an alert than can lead to a breach there are a range of other circumstances that can lead to breach action being taken.</p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 10/06/2019 14:25:03 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland
