§ Paul Goggins[holding answer 16 December 2003]:The information requested is not available centrally.
There is no definitive list of offences relating to paedophilia. The information collected centrally simply relates to a range of offences (including those involving direct contact with the victims and others that do not) against victims of a variety of ages, some of which span the legal age of consent to sexual activity, and details of the nature of the offences are not collected.
