To ask the Attorney General, how many of the 1,109 convictions for rape recorded in the year ending March 2021 related to offences committed (a) before the year ending March 2018, (b) within the year 2018-19, and (c) within the year 2019-20.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not maintain a central record of the date an offence was committed. This information could only be obtained by an examination of CPS case files, which would incur disproportionate cost.
