<table><tbody><tr><td><p>The Secretary of State for Justice announced in February
this year the roll out of GPS location monitoring. A wide range of offenders are eligible
for the new tags, including those subject to court-imposed bail, community orders
and suspended sentence orders, as well as those on Home Detention Curfew and indeterminate
sentenced prisoners released by the Parole Board. We are monitoring the demand for
and application of GPS location monitoring tags by decision makers and are considering
whether there are additional categories of offenders who would be suitable. No decisions
have been made to extend their use further at the current time.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
