Nitrous Oxide: Public Order Offences (6 September 2021)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people have been charged with public order offences related to nitrous oxide use in each year since 2015 in (a) England and (b) Wales.

Asked by:
Alex Davies-Jones (Labour)

The Home Office collects data on police recorded crime including public order offences. These are published quarterly by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The latest figures, for the year ending March 2021, can be accessed here:

However, these data do not identify whether or not the offence was related to nitrous oxide.
