Available data show the number of offenders found guilty of supplying drugs in England and Wales. This can be found in the Experimental statistics: Principal offence proceedings and outcomes by Home Office offence data tool in the annual criminal justice statistics publication, linked below. From the Offence drop down box, select 92A.09, 92A.10, 92A.11 and 92A.12, then drag the Detailed offence filter into the row box for the pivot table. The table will display figures for possession, production and supply of drugs including intent to supply drugs offences separately.
