My question is to the Minister for Immigration. Can the minister confirm the seven murderers and 37 sex offenders released from detention are all wearing ankle bracelets.

I thank the shadow minister for his question. I can confirm, as I think I made clear earlier, that the management of everyone in this cohort is determined by the professional men and women of the community safety board, who have been providing evidence based assessment on the application of those measures, the subject of laws that we all supported in this place, to keep people safe.
