Asked by: Lord Alderdice (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many convictions for theft of lead from churches in England have been recorded in each of the last five years.
Answered by Lord Keen of Elie - Shadow Minister (Justice)
To identify whether theft convictions were specifically related to theft of lead from churches in England would require manual searching of court records, which would be of disproportionate cost.
