Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many rapes were tried in the youth court last year and in each of the preceding three years; and of those, for each year, (a) how many resulted in a guilty verdict, (b) how many were sentenced in the youth court and (c) how many were referred to the Crown Court for sentencing.

Answered by Sarah Sackman - Minister of State (Ministry of Justice)

The Ministry of Justice publishes magistrates’ court data on prosecutions and resulting outcomes for rape offences by age of the defendant. This can be downloaded from the Criminal Justice Statistics landing page here: Criminal Justice Statistics.

Although youth courts are not separately identifiable, the published statistics can be filtered to identify cases where the defendant was under the age of 18.

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to help increase funding for clean energy in the North West.

Answered by Chris McDonald - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

The Government is directly investing into the North-West, funding key initiatives such as the Hynet CCUS cluster, projects in our Hydrogen Allocation Rounds, the Green Heat Network Fund and Local Growth Fund.

Great British Energy has funded solar panels at 19 NHS trusts and 3 schools in the region as well as launching the Great British Energy Community Fund, and the National Wealth Fund has recently launched a £500m collaboration with Greater Manchester Combined Authority supporting key growth projects.

These investments will continue to unlock further investment into clean energy in the region.
