HC Deb 26 February 2001 vol 363 c484W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many persons who are subject to a community court order are(a) male and over 65 years of age and (b) female and over 60 years of age. [150981]

Mr. Charles Clarke

Information on the number of persons subject to a community sentence at any one time is not collected centrally. However, information taken from the Home Office's court proceedings database is given in the table and shows the number of males over 65 years of age and females over 60 years of age sentenced to a community sentence by all courts in England and Wales during 1998 and 1999.
