Mr. McNamara

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many persons have been(a) arrested, (b) charged and (c) convicted of conspiracy in the UK to commit offences abroad. [64203]

Mr. Boateng

Information on the number of people arrested and charged by type of offence is not collected centrally.

Section 5 of the Criminal Justice (Terrorism and Conspiracy) Act 1998—Conspiracy to commit offences outside the United Kingdom—came into effect on 4 September 1998, and information on convictions from the Home Office Court Proceedings Database will begin to become available in the Spring of 1999.
