Edward Timpson (Crewe & Nantwich, Conservative)
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what criminal offences enacted since 1997 have never resulted in (a) a criminal prosecution and (b) a criminal conviction.
Claire Ward (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Ministry of Justice; Watford, Labour)
At present there is no central system that routinely records the number of prosecutions and convictions for new offences created across Whitehall.
However, this information is currently being collated and I will write to the hon. Member as soon as it is available. A copy will be placed in the House Library.
