Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people were handed on-the-spot fines for graffiti in each year since 2013.

The Home Office collects and publishes official statistics on the investigative outcomes of crimes recorded by the police in England and Wales on a quarterly basis. This includes offenders issued with Penalty Notices for Disorder. The latest statistics, up to the year ending June 2023, can be accessed here:

This information is available on an offence-basis and it is not possible to separately identify graffiti from other types of criminal damage.
