[2004] EWCA Crim 204

In general, it was inappropriate for a sentencing judge to take account of the possibility that an offender would be released early under a tagging or residential order; the judge's task was to pass the appropriate sentence and not to take into account administrative arrangements the Secretary of State may have made extra-statutorily.
