Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many (a) men and (b) women were convicted of being drunk in charge of a child under the age of seven in a public place by each magistrates' Court in Lancashire in 2014.
This question was answered on 14th September 2015
The number of offenders found guilty at all magistrates courts in Lancashire of being drunk in charge of a child under seven in a public place, by gender, in 2014, can be viewed in the table.
| Offenders found guilty of being drunk in charge of a child under the age of seven (1), Lancashire, by gender, 2014 (2)(3) | |||
| Male | Female | Total | |
| 6 | 7 | 13 | |
| '-' = Nil | |||
| (1) An offence under S2 Licensing Act 1902 | |||
| (2) The figures given in the table relate to persons for whom these offences were the principal offences for which they were dealt with. When a defendant has been found guilty of two or more offences it is the offence for which the heaviest penalty is imposed. Where the same disposal is imposed for two or more offences, the offence selected is the offence for which the statutory maximum penalty is the most severe. | |||
| (3) Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the courts and police forces. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when those data are used. | |||

Because of the small numbers involved, it is not possible to provide a breakdown by individual courts as this could lead to identification of the children involved.
