Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many arrests have been made in the last 12 months related to the sale of illegal vapes.
This question was answered on 17th July 2023
The information requested is not held.
The Home Office collects and publishes data on arrests in England and Wales, as part of the ‘Police powers and procedures’ statistical bulletin, available here: Police powers and procedures: Stop and search and arrests, England and Wales, year ending 31 March 2022 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
However, the data are broken down by wider offence group, therefore data on more specific offences such as the sale of illegal vapes is not available.
