The below Parliamentary question was asked by Pamela Nash on 2014-06-18.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, with reference to the Answer of 14 May 2014, Official Report, column 678W, on money lenders, how many actionable reports led to a conviction in each of the last four years.
Jenny Willott
Final Approved answer to 13371
The Illegal Money Lending Teams conduct complex and sensitive investigations. The length of each investigation will be influenced by the circumstances of the specific case. In some instances convictions can only be delivered through months of proactive intelligence gathering and community engagement. Because of this, some cases span across multiple years and so there is not necessarily a direct link between the numbers of actionable reports and the numbers of convictions in any one year.
Below is a breakdown of the number of operations, arrests and prosecutions completed by the Illegal Money Lending Teams in England, Scotland and Wales in each of the last four years and the number of custodial sentences handed down by the courts.
