Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, pursuant to the Answer of 21 October 2015 to Question 11678, how many prosecutions for trafficking offences linked to County Lines investigations there have been in cases where a child under the age of 18 was trafficked to another area to distribute drugs; and what the outcomes were of each such prosecution.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) maintains no central record of prosecutions for trafficking offences linked to County Lines investigations. This information could only be obtained by examining CPS case files, which would incur disproportionate cost.
