The Home Office does not hold the specific information requested.

While the Home Office routinely collects and publishes information on arrests for notifiable offences by age group and HOCR offence group in the Stop and search, arrests, and mental health detentions, March 2025 - GOV.UK. statistics, detailed age breakdowns and offence types are not available.

Drink driving offences are not notifiable offences and therefore this information is not available in the arrests statistics.

Therefore, figures for the number of people who have arrested for drink driving in the last 12 months is not available.
