Removal and Detention Section 36: Electronic monitoring
167.Section 36 makes provision for the electronic monitoring of persons subject to immigration control who are at least 18 years of age in the following circumstances:
	where a residence restriction is imposed (subsection (2));
	where a reporting restriction could be imposed (subsection (3)); and
	where immigration bail is granted subject to a recognizance or bail bond (subsection (4)) (except where bail is granted by a police officer) (subsection (1)(d)(ii)).
168.A person subject to electronic monitoring in accordance with these provisions is required to cooperate with arrangements for detecting and recording his location at specified times, during specified periods of time or throughout the currency of the arrangements. The electronic means employed in connection with such arrangements may include voice recognition technology, the use of a “tag” to confirm the presence of absence of the person from a specified location and in the future “tracking” technology to monitor the person’s whereabouts on a continuous basis.
169.Subsection (8) provides power for the Secretary of State to make rules about the arrangements for electronic monitoring under section 36.
170.Subsection (10) prevents the imposition of a requirement to submit to electronic monitoring unless the authority imposing the requirement has been notified by the Secretary of State under subsection (8)(b) that satisfactory monitoring arrangements are available in the relevant area(s).
