Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many hours of unpaid work have been handed down by the courts as part of community orders in each year since 2010.

This information is not readily available and would require a manual search of court records which would incur disproportionate costs.

The number of community sentences issued can be found in our outcomes by offence tool:
