Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many convictions for robbery offences there have been in (a) Crown and (b) Magistrates' Courts in England and Wales by (i) individual court and (ii) region for each of the last five years for which figures are available.

Court outcomes data is not held at individual magistrates’ court level. Identifying individual courts separately would require a manual search of court records, which would be at disproportionate costs.

The Ministry of Justice has published information on prosecutions and convictions by offence group, offence type and individual offence by police force area, in England and Wales, up to December 2021, available in the ‘Outcomes by Offence’ data tool, available below:
