The Government does not hold the information on how many people who were formerly Released Under Investigation were (a) no fixed action (NFA); (b) charged and (c) convicted.

Decisions on whether to use pre-charge bail or release suspects pending further enquiries are operational matters for individual police forces and will be assessed on a case by case basis.

The Government completed its public consultation on the pre-charge bail system, including release under investigation, on 29 May 2020. Analysis of the results from this consultation is ongoing and the Government response will be published later this year.
