Ms Shipley
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the number of cases of domestic violence prosecuted by the police in the last 12 month period in the West Midlands Region. [36978]
Mr. Michael
Information collected centrally on court proceedings is not held in sufficient detail to distinguish domestic violence from other violent offences. The four police forces within the West Midlands region (Staffordshire, Warwickshire, West Mercia and West Midlands) do not maintain counts of prosecutions involving domestic violence.
