Answer
The Ministry of Justice publishes data on prosecutions for a wide range of offences, including TV licence evasion up to and including 2023 in the Outcomes by Offences data tool, that can be downloaded from the Criminal Justice Statistics landing page here: Criminal justice statistics - GOV.UK.
This can be accessed by navigating to the ‘Prosecutions and Convictions’ tab and using the HO code filter to select the HO offence code ‘19101 – Television licence evasion’ in the Outcomes by Offence Tool.
Data covering the 2024 calendar year is planned for publication in May 2025.
