Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many people have been evicted due to section 21 notices in each of the last three years for which data is available in (a) Bolsover constituency and (b) Derbyshire.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government)
Figures relating to Section 21 eviction proceedings in individual constituencies in England are not held by the department, but we know that chronic insecurity in the private rented sector in Derbyshire has real-life consequences for individuals and families. Tenants across England will benefit from the measures in the forthcoming Renters’ Rights Bill, including the abolition of Section 21 evictions.

Notes:
Base: Universal Credit households that had an assessment period that ended in April of each year.
Data for April 2024 is latest available, in line with the most recent published data on this policy.
DWP does not hold data on CTC households affected by the two-child limit.
Figures rounded to two significant figures (to a minimum of 10), and values less than 10 are suppressed in line with disclosure rules.
The difference between these figures and published statistics for Bolsover constituency is because the published stats are for those that do not receive some amount of child element due to the policy, whereas these figures include households that have an exception for all children affected by the policy.

Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people have been prosecuted for non-payment of a television licence in each of the last three years for which data is available in Bolsover constituency; and what form that prosecution took.
Answered by Heidi Alexander - Minister of State (Ministry of Justice)
The Ministry of Justice publishes data on the number of prosecutions at magistrates’ courts in England and Wales for non-payment of a television licence, in the Outcomes by Offence data tool. This includes breakdowns by police force area. The data tool can be downloaded from the Criminal Justice Statistics landing page here: Criminal Justice System statistics quarterly: June 2024 - GOV.UK.
Published data includes the police force area of prosecutions, but it is not possible to separately identify Bolsover constituency as this information is not available in the Court Proceedings Database held by the Ministry of Justice.
