Tagging plan for asylum seekers
Electronic tagging is to be trialled by the Home Office
Some asylum seekers in Scotland are to be electronically tagged in a new scheme being piloted by the UK Government in the coming months.
The project will work by voice verification and use satellites to track people.
The Home Office said it would also apply to people who have been refused entry at ports or who are found to be working illegally. "
