Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what estimate he has made of the number of hours of community service that were carried out in (a) Enfield North constituency, (b) the London Borough of Enfield and (c) London in each year since 2010.
The table below shows the number of community service hours offenders have completed as a part of community sentences for the period between April 2014 to December 2022 for the London Probation region, it is not possible to provide data on a London Borough level due to the way data is recorded.
Years | Number of hours delivered |
2014/2015 | 836,696 |
2015/2016 | 957,170 |
2016/2017 | 784,856 |
2017/2018 | 849,515 |
2018/2019 | 848,230 |
2019/2020 | 730,669 |
2020/2021 | 153,963 |
2021/2022 | 462,288 |
01/04/2022-31/12/2022 | 478,829 |
Total | 6,102,215 |
A significant dip in performance can be seen in the years 2019/20 and 2020/21, which is attributed to the pandemic. Community Payback was severely affected by projects, and organisations that provided them, being closed, along with the social distancing rules making it difficult for delivery to continue as normal.
