Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether his Department has made an assessment of trends in the level of (a) prosecutions and (b) convictions in (i) rape and (ii) sexual assault cases.

The Ministry of Justice publishes regular statistics on defendants proceeded against and offenders convicted for rape and sexual offences. More information is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/criminal-justice-statistics

We keep this under review.
