Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many (a) prosecutions and (b) convictions there have been for persecuting a hen harrier in England in each of the last 10 years.
It is not possible to identify from centrally held data the number of prosecutions and convictions for persecuting a hen harrier in England. This particular bird cannot be disaggregated from broader offences under sections 1 and 21 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
