Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people have been given an immediate custodial sentence of less than six months in courts used by North Wales Police in North Wales by (a) gender and (b) offence in each year since 2010.

The number of adult offenders sentenced to immediate custody, by gender, offence category and court at all courts in the North Wales police force area can be viewed in the tables as follows:-

• Table 1 provides information for Mold Crown Court
• Table 2 provides information for Wrexham Maelor Local Justice Area
• Table 3 provides information for Flintshire Local Justice Area.
• Table 4 provides information for Denbighshire Local Justice Area
• Table 5 provides information for Conwy Local Justice Area
• Table 6 provides information for Ynys Mon (Anglesey) Local Justice Area
• Table 7 provides information for Gwynedd Local Justice Area

Magistrates’ courts data is reported by the Ministry of Justice by Local Justice area, which can contain one or more magistrates’ courts.

It is not possible to provide equivalent information for juveniles. This is because this information, if released, could lead to identification of the individuals concerned.
