GPS tracking pilot for bailed suspects to start next year - Swinney
The first minister updated parliament on his plans for a pilot scheme in Tayside, Fife and Central during a Scottish Parliament debate on tackling violence against women. It came after he spoke to domestic abuse survivors and relatives of victims at a Holyrood meeting hosted by Scottish Conservative leader Russell Findlay. The government has been criticised over the slow rollout of GPS equipment, which is used far less in Scotland than in some other countries.
