To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many people were (a) prosecuted and (b) convicted of sexual offences in Northern Ireland in each of the last three years, broken down by offence. [145486]
Maria Eagle:
Table 1 gives the number of prosecutions and convictions for sexual offences by individual offence.
Data cover the calendar years 2003 to 2005 and are collated on the principal offence rule; thus only the most serious offence with which an offender is charged is included.
