[holding answer 8 October 2013]: The number of prosecutions, convictions and acquittals resulting from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) investigations in 2009-10 are shown in the following table. This cannot be compared to PQ 168226 that I answered on 10 September 2013, Official Report, column 685W. The data collected for 2009-10 were collated by the Crown Prosecution Service in a different format to that for the following years. The analysis of the raw case data has had to be split between Criminal Investigation (CI) and the former Referred Investigation Teams (RIT) who were based at ports and airports and moved to the UK Border Agency upon the demerger of HMRC in June 2009. The totals for 2009-10 include data for drugs, firearms and other prohibitions and restrictions up to the date of demerger. Data provided in my answer to PQ 168226 about later years do not include such information as, following the demerger; drugs, firearms, etc. are no longer matters assigned to HMRC. 2009-10 Regime Prosecutions Convictions Acquittals CI 286 255 38 RIT 493 636 56 Total 779 891 94
