The Home Office does not centrally hold the information requested.

From April 2017 the Home Office has requested information on a voluntary basis from the police on the number of individuals released on pre-charge bail, broken down by bail length. It is intended that these data will be published for the first time in Autumn 2018. However, these data will not contain information on the offence group.
