Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many convictions there have been under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 in relation to arrangements where sex has been requested in return for accommodation in the City of Bristol.

It is not possible to identify from centrally held data the number of offenders convicted for arrangements where sex had been requested in return for accommodation in Bristol under the Sexual Offences Act 2003, as this particular offence cannot be disaggregated from the broader offence of ‘sexual offences’. Additionally, any data held at a court level refers to where the defendant was dealt with rather than where the offence was committed.
