Cannabis: Prosecutions
(asked on 9th October 2015) - View Source
Question to the Attorney General:
To ask the Attorney General, how many people were prosecuted for possession of cannabis in each of the last 10 years.
This question was answered on 14th October 2015
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) maintains no central record of defendants prosecuted for the offence of possession of cannabis. This information could only be obtained by examining CPS case files, which would incur a disproportionate cost.
