Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many offenders with parental responsibility for a minor child have received a custodial sentence of over four years in each year since 2017 for a sexual offence against (a) their own child and (b) any child.

The Ministry of Justice publishes data on sentences for sexual offences, including average custodial sentence lengths, in the Outcomes by Offences data tool, that can be downloaded from the Criminal Justice Statistics landing page here: Criminal justice statistics - GOV.UK

It is not possible to identify those who have a parental responsibility status. This information may be held in court records but to examine individual court records would be of disproportionate costs.
