Offenders: Personal Records
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Justice pursuant to the answer of 9 February 2009, Official Report, column 1536W, on offenders: personal records, whether his Department plans to delete any of the data which are not being used.
- Answer
-
The Department no longer uses the Offenders Index to provide routine data on reoffending and criminal history; we now use data extracted from the Police National Computer to provide the published figures on reoffending. We are currently analysing the final cohort of offenders extracted from the Offenders Index. Although we do not plan to use the Offenders Index in future we have no plans to delete any of the data as there is a range of possible future uses for it.
