The below Parliamentary question was asked by Jim Cunningham on 2015-11-16.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what information her Department holds on the number of (a) arrests for and (b) successful prosecutions of individuals charged with counter-terrorism offences in (i) Coventry and (ii) the West Midlands in each of the last five years; and if she will make a statement.
Mr John Hayes
The Home Office releases a quarterly statistics bulletin on the operation of police powers under the Terrorism Act 2000. It contains information on the numbers of arrests, charges and convictions for terrorism-related offences. The latest bulletin was released in September 2015 and can be found here:

The data is not broken down by geographic location. To do so could give an indication of the deployment of police resources and might prejudice ongoing operations.
