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.

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.
