Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many breaches of community orders imposed by (a) youth, (b) family, and (c) all courts have (i) been processed and (i) are outstanding since 23 March 2020.
We cannot provide information from the beginning of 2020, as that information forms a subset of the Criminal Justice Statistics data that is part of Ministry of Justice’s (MoJ) National Statistics output, which will be published later in 2020 (quarter 1 2020 is due for publication in August 2020) in line with the Code of Practice for statistics.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused MoJ to change its data gathering, access and release practices, focusing efforts on priority analysis and statistics. Their statement explains this further.
