To ask the Scottish Executive whether it intends to extend the victim notification scheme, specifically in relation to home detention curfews.

The victim notification scheme provides victims who have elected to join the scheme with information about the release of prisoners sentenced to four or more years, and this will include any prisoners who will, in future, be released on licence on home detention curfew.

Any decision to extend the victim notification scheme will depend on the outcome of the evaluation of the scheme. That evaluation will take into account new developments, including home detention curfews.
