Written question asked by Lord Laird (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Rooker (Labour) on Monday, 3 March 2008.


Bail: Northern Ireland

Question
asked Her Majesty's Government:Further to the Written Answer by Lord Rooker of 19 February (WA 35) concerning bail conditions in Northern Ireland, what is the disproportionate cost of providing data on bail conditions.
Answer

The original Question asked how many people committed offences while on bail in Northern Ireland in each of the past five years. As this data are not recorded centrally, a manual trawl of all crime records would need to be undertaken. This exercise would cost in excess of the current limit of £700 as set by the Cabinet Office.
