PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Crime: Airguns (17 July 2020)

Question Asked

To ask the Attorney General, what estimate she has made of the number of young people under the age of 18 charged with air weapons offences.

Asked by:
Karin Smyth (Labour)

Answer

The CPS does not maintain a central record of the age of defendants charged with offences relating to air weapons. This information could only be obtained by an examination of CPS case files, which would incur disproportionate cost.
