To ask the Scottish Executive why the breach of an electronic tagging order is referred to the courts only after three breaches.
Answer
Serious incidents of breach of a restriction of liberty order which demonstrate wilful and measurable non-compliance of the order are reported to the courts within 24 hours of their occurrence. Other more minor violations are reported to the courts cumulatively so that the courts can consider their impact in relation to overall compliance with the order.

To ask the Scottish Executive whether an offender that commits a crime whilst also breaching an electronic tagging order is automatically referred to the courts for breach of the order.
Answer
An offender who commits a crime whilst also breaching a restriction of liberty order will be dealt with by the police for the crime. The breach of the restriction of liberty order will be reported to the court. Breach of a restriction of liberty order is not in itself a crime.
