Sir Nicholas Soames: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many (a) prosecutions and (b) convictions there have been in relation to offences under section 57 of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 in each of the last 10 years. [202384]

Mr Vara, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Minister for the Courts and Legal Aid: Data for offences under Section 57 of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 are not reported centrally to the Ministry of Justice. This information may be held by the individual courts in England and Wales and as such it can be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
