The Home Office does not hold this data. It collects and publishes infor-mation on the number of cases and outcomes of police misconduct and crim-inal investigations in England and Wales. This information was first collected for the 2015/16 financial period. The latest data for 2015/16 and 2016/17 can be found in the misconduct section of the ‘Police workforce, England and Wales’ statistical bulletin: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-workforce-england-and-wales.

The IOPC publishes its own official national statistics on deaths during or fol-lowing police contact annually. It also holds some data on investigation out-comes. I have asked the Director General of the IOPC to write to the Hon. Member in response to these questions. I shall arrange for a copy of the letter to be placed in the House of Commons library.
