Written Question
Crime: Airguns
Wednesday 22nd July 2020

Asked by: Karin Smyth (Labour - Bristol South)

Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, what estimate she has made of the number of young people under the age of 18 charged with air weapons offences.

Answered by Michael Ellis

The CPS does not maintain a central record of the age of defendants charged with offences relating to air weapons. This information could only be obtained by an examination of CPS case files, which would incur disproportionate cost.
