Poaching: Prosecutions
- Question
-
To ask the Attorney General, how many prosecutions have been made under the Night Poaching Act 1828 in each year since 2010.
- Answer
-
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not hold any data which shows the number of defendants charged with and prosecuted for offences created by the Night Poaching Act 1828. However, management information is held showing the number of offences of charged by way of the Night Poaching Act 1828 in which a prosecution commenced from each year from 2010/11. The table below shows the number of these offences to the latest available year, 2021/22.
The figures relate to the number of offences and not the number of individual defendants and it can be the case that an individual defendant is charged with more than one offence.2010-2011
