Young Offenders

Mr. Hepburn: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many young people of school age who had been placed in custody have re-offended in (a) Jarrow constituency, (b) South Tyneside, (c) the North East and (d) England in each year since 1997. [10197]

Fiona Mactaggart: Information in respect of Jarrow alone, South Tyneside alone and the North East alone is not collected centrally. In England and Wales as a whole, 70.4 per cent. of young people under 18 released from custody in 2001 were re-convicted within one year. The comparable figure for 2002 was 68.3 per cent.; and for 2003, 69.4 per cent. Figures for other years since 1997 are not available.

Mr. Hepburn: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many young people of school age (a) found guilty of a crime and (b) placed in custody were found to suffer from some form of mental illness in each of the last five years. [10195]

Fiona Mactaggart: This information is not collected centrally.

Kidnaps

Mr. Oaten: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people were kidnapped in England and Wales in each of the last three years. [7330]

Hazel Blears [holding answer 27 June 2005]: There were 3,125 recorded offences of kidnapping in England and Wales in 2003–04. This corresponds with 3,184 offences in 2002–03 and 2,788 in 2001–02.

Homicide

Mr. Amess: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many persons convicted of (a) murder and (b) manslaughter in England and Wales were subsequently (i) charged with and (ii) convicted of murder or manslaughter following their release on licence in each year since 1975. [10507]

Hazel Blears: The available information is as follows:

During the period 1975 to date, a total of 68 persons in England and Wales, released following a conviction for homicide, were known to have been convicted of a second offence of homicide.

The figure excludes persons who have been convicted outside England and Wales (for whom there is incomplete information), and persons who have been killed by those not previously convicted of homicide by reason of their mental state.

Parking Fines

David Davis: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much was raised by parking fines in (a) Humberside and (b) England in each of the last five years. [6554]

Mr. Charles Clarke: Information on the revenue raised from parking summary offences is not available.

Available information, given in the tables show the number of fines at magistrates' court and the number of fixed penalty notices issued for all offences of obstruction, waiting and parking in the Humberside police force area and England, during the calendar years 1999 to 2003 (latest available).

Not all fines and fixed penalties will have been paid.

Information for 2004 will be available early in 2006.

Under The Road Traffic Act 1991 decriminalised parking enforcement (DPE) powers allow local authorities to take over responsibility for enforcing parking contraventions from the police. Data on fixed penalty notices issued under DPE are not included within the tables. Humberside does not operate DPE.
