Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people were prosecuted under section 1 of the Vagrancy Act 1898 between 1970 and 2018.
This question was answered on 3rd December 2018
It is not possible to identify from centrally held data the number of defendants prosecuted under section 1 of the Vagrancy Act 1898, as there is no data available under this specific Act. The Act was repealed by the Sexual Offences Act 2003.
