Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people under 18 years old are serving life sentences due to convictions under joint enterprise law.
This question was answered on 11th March 2019
The Ministry of Justice only collects information on how many defendants are prosecuted and convicted for each offence in any given year. Information is not collated on whether a prosecution or conviction relied on the law of joint enterprise. Such information may be held on court records, but could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
