– Scottish Parliament written question – answered at on 26 August 2010.
Question S3W-35567
To ask the Scottish Executive what the procedure is for notifying local police forces of prisoners released on temporary licence in their areas.
I have asked John Ewing, Chief Executive of the Scottish Prison Service, to respond. His response is as follows:
The local police forces are notified of all prisoners who are due to be going on temporary licence to their particular area. This is achieved through an email from the SPS establishment releasing the prisoner to the central contact point within that force area.
