Andy Slaughter – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andy Slaughter on 2016-02-02.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people have been convicted under joint enterprise in each year since 2010.

Mike Penning

The Court Proceedings Database shows how many defendants were prosecuted and convicted for each offence in a given year. It does not show what percentage of those were prosecuted and convicted following their involvement in group offending; or what role each person played within the enterprise. Such information is not held centrally and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
