Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what proportion of individuals convicted of animal welfare offences went on to commit a further animal welfare offence in each of the last 10 years; and what proportion of those repeat offenders had previously been issued with an animal disqualification order.

The information requested on convictions could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.

Information regarding animal disqualification orders is not contained in the Ministry of Justice extract of the Police National Computer.
