Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people have been convicted of attacks involving acid in the last 12 months.

The Ministry of Justice publishes data on prosecutions and convictions for a wide range of offences, including violence against the person, in the Outcomes by Offences data tool. This can be downloaded from the Criminal Justice Statistics landing page here: Criminal justice statistics - GOV.UK.

However, data held centrally does not include specific offences where acid has been used during the offence. This information may be held in court records but to examine individual court records would be of disproportionate costs.
