PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Convictions: Foreign Nationals (4 October 2024)

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many foreign nationals were convicted of offences in each of the last five years; and if she will provide a breakdown of those offences by class of crime.

Asked by:
Rupert Lowe (Reform UK)

The Ministry of Justice publishes information on the number of defendants convicted for offences in each of the last five years in the Outcomes by Offence data tool: December 2023.

However, it is not possible to identify an offender’s nationality from the centrally collated convictions data. This information may be held on court records but to examine individual court records would be of disproportionate costs.
