The Ministry of Justice Court Proceedings Database holds information on defendants proceeded against, found guilty and sentenced for criminal
offences in England and Wales. However, not all offences are individually reported within the centrally held data. Offences of wearing military uniforms without authority under the Uniforms Act 1894 are reported as part of a miscellaneous group of offences, and it is not possible to separately identify prosecutions for these specific offences.
Statistics for Scotland and Northern Ireland are matters for the Scottish Government and the Department of Justice Northern Ireland.
May we have a statement from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills on what it is doing to prevent identity fraud?
I have recently received complaints from a constituent that his address has been used on two separate occasions in the registration of new companies without his knowledge or...

I welcome the inquiry that the Home Secretary has announced into undercover agents. Would it not be appropriate, at this stage at least, for the Home Secretary herself to give an apology to the parents of the dead children whose names were taken for undercover policing? What happened was absolutely disgraceful; such an apology is absolutely appropriate.

The hon. Gentleman makes the point that if it is indeed the case that this has happened, it is absolutely disgraceful. The investigation to establish the facts in relation to this is still ongoing. It is important that we say anything we wish to say about the facts about what has taken place following that investigation.

The records held by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) identify the number of offences in which a prosecution commenced and reached a first hearing in magistrates courts, rather than the number of defendants. There is no specific offence of identity theft however, the Identity Documents Act 2010 created offences under sections 4(1), 5(1) and 6(1), relating to the possession, manufacture and use of false identity documents or of using another person's identity documents. These are specific identity documents such as passports or driving licences.
During the last three years, for which data are available, the number of these offences was as follows:
| 2010-11 | 2011-12 | 2012-13 | |
| Identity
Documents Act 2010 (4(1) and
(2)) | 41 | 1,146 | 1,73 |
| Identity
Document Act 2010
(5(1)) | 0 | 14 | 15 |
| Identity
Documents Act 2010
(6(1)) | 0 | 341 | 299 |
| Total | 41 | 1,501 | 1,587 |
No central records of the prosecution outcomes of offences are held by the CPS. To obtain the volume and rate of convictions a manual exercise of reviewing individual case files would need to be undertaken at a disproportionate cost.
In addition to the above offences, the use of another person's identity may result in other charges such as theft, fraud by false representation, possession of articles for use in fraud, obtaining services dishonestly and false accounting. No central record of the circumstances of an offence is maintained. Such data could not reasonably be obtained locally or nationally other than by undertaking a manual exercise of reviewing individual case files at a disproportionate cost.
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I seek your guidance and draw to your attention a matter that will be of interest and concern to all right hon. and hon. Members: the impersonation of a Member of this House. A Twitter account has been set up in the name...

First, I emphasise that all political parties have had members who are responsible for electoral fraud. In Birmingham it has tended to be the Labour party, but that is not to say that any one party is perfect or any one party is necessarily much worse than any other.

I am interested in the hon. Gentleman’s example, but surely if someone stuffs extra ballots into a ballot box the number of ballots in it would not tally with the number issued at the polling station.

The hon. Gentleman has made some accusations, admittedly only in passing, but they are quite serious and he has stated them as though they are fact. If he has serious allegations, he really ought to produce the evidence to the police, rather than relying on parliamentary privilege in this House.

What estimate has the hon. Gentleman made of the cost of kitting out every polling station in the UK with such video evidence?
