Convictions

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will publish a breakdown of conviction data by nationality for the past five years.

Answer

The Ministry of Justice publishes a range of FNO statistical breakdowns as part of its Offender Management Statistics Quarterly (OMSQ) which covers prisons and probation data Offender management statistics quarterly - GOV.UK.
