Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many convictions have been made for the illegitimate supply of nitrous oxide under the The Psychoactive Substances Act 2016.

The Ministry of Justice publishes information on the number of offenders convicted for various offences under the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016, including for the supply of a psychoactive substance, in the Outcomes by Offence data tool: December 2022.

However, it is not possible to disaggregate the supply of nitrous oxide from other psychoactive substances, as detail of exactly what substance is supplied is not held centrally in the Court Proceedings database.
