Lord Browne of Belmont – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Browne of Belmont on 2016-02-25.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many (1) arrests, and (2) convictions, for diesel laundering there were in Northern Ireland in each of the last three years.
Lord O’Neill of Gatley
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) does not break down statistics for oils convictions to separate out those arising from diesel laundering. Total arrests and convictions for oils offences in Northern Ireland for the last complete three years for which figures are available were as follows:
|
2012-13 |
2013-14 |
2014-15 |
|
|
Arrests |
8 |
0 |
13 |
|
Convictions |
9 |
9 |
5 |
The figures for arrests and convictions in any particular year do not correspond as investigations and prosecutions do not always reach conclusion in the year that they commence.
