Abduction
Prosecutions
Mr.
Burstow: To ask the Secretary of State for
the Home Department how many people were prosecuted for abduction in
London in 2004 in each London borough, broken down by (a) sex,
(b) age and (c) nationality.
[88508]
Mr.
McNulty: Information on the number of defendants proceeded
against and found guilty in courts in London for offences of abduction
in 2004 are provided in the following table, broken down as requested.
Data on the nationality of people convicted of an offence is not held
centrally. This is because there is currently no legal obligation on
people who are suspected, charged or convicted to declare their
nationality and no sanction against them if they refuse to co-operate
or they declare a nationality falsely. In a written ministerial
statement of 19 July 2006, Official Report, column 29WS my hon.
Friend the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Nationality
(Mr. Byrne) set out the progress the Department is making to
address this
problem.

(1)
Includes offences related to ‘abduction of children’ and
general abduction offences. (2) These data are
provided on the principal offence basis. (3) Every
effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and
complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been
extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the
police forces and courts. As a consequence, care should be taken to
ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are
taken into account when those data are used. (4)
There were no reported cases of abduction in city of London
courts.
