Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many referrals have been made to the National Referral Mechanism due to gang involvement in each of the last five years.

There is no data available on the number of National Referral Mechanism (NRM) referrals made due to gang involvement. Data on the outcome of referrals for the last five years as well as the nationality, age and gender of those referred is publicly available on the National Crime Agency (NCA) website: http://www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/publications/national-referral-mechanism-statistics/2017-nrm-statistics/884-nrm-annual-report-2017
