Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prosecutions for theft from British shipwreck in (a) UK territorial waters and (b) international waters in each of the last five years.

Data held centrally does not identify the location of theft, nor the nationality of the shipwreck. However, there have been no prosecutions relating specifically to the principal offence of theft from a wreck in the last five years.
