To ask His Majesty's Government how many children aged 10 to 13 have been arrested for (1) common assault, (2) actual bodily harm, (3) inflicting grievous bodily harm, and (4) causing grievous bodily harm with intent, in each of the past five years.

The Home Office collects and publishes data on arrests for notifiable offences in England and Wales as part of the ‘Police Powers and Procedures’ statistical series, available here: Stop and search, arrests, and mental health detentions, March 2025 - GOV.UK

Data are collected by age group, such as 10-17 years old, and more detailed breakdowns are not available. Additionally, data on arrests is collected by offence group only, for example ‘Sexual offences’. Data on arrests for the specific offences requested is not held centrally.
