Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many people were serving a period of imprisonment under the provisions of the Vagrancy Act 1824 in (1) 1989, (2) 2000, (3) 2010, (4) 2015, and (5) 2017.
This question was answered on 2nd May 2019
Data for the number of people serving prison sentences under the provisions of the Vagrancy Act 1824 as at 30 June in each year can be seen in the table below:
| 2000 | 2010 | 2015 | 2017 |
Total | 14 | 7 | 6 | 6 |
The Ministry of Justice is unable to provide data for 1989, for to do so would have meant providing the information at disproportionate costs.
