Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people have been (a) charged and (b) convicted for offences under section 46 of the Crime and Security Act 2010 in each year since 2011; and if she will make a statement.
The Home Office holds data on crimes recorded by the police that are covered by the notifiable offence list. Notifiable offences are those crimes that could possibly be tried by a jury plus a few additional closely related summary offences dealt with by magistrates, such as assault without injury.
Crimes covered under section 46 of the Crime and Security Act 2010 are non-notifiable and therefore for not held by the Home Office.
