Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what estimate he has made of the number of offenders who have completed a community sentence, by region in England and Wales, in each year since 2010.
The data requested can be found in the tables attached.
During 2020 and 2021, the number of court order completions was substantially reduced as a result of operational restrictions put in place in response to the pandemic.
We are investing an extra £155 million a year into the Probation Service, enabling us to recruit thousands more staff, to help reduce re-offending and protect the public.
