To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, in the context of delays to cases of alleged sexual offences reaching trial, what recent estimate his Department has made of the rate of reoffending among people awaiting trial for those offences.

The government does not currently hold data on the behaviours of those who have not yet been convicted of a crime but are nevertheless awaiting trial.

As part of the Rape Review Action Plan, the government also set out its action plan to drive improvements across the system; ensuring that victims of rape do not have to wait years to see justice and that our streets are made safer as quickly as possible.
