Medicines (Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products for Human Use) Regulations 2005

Mr. Ruffley
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many offences were recorded under the Medicines (Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products for Human Use) Regulations 2005 in each year since their entry into force, broken down by  offence; and what percentage of these offences (a) resulted in court proceedings against suspected perpetrators, (b) led to a conviction and (c) resulted in a sanction detection.

Mr. Coaker
The information requested is not available. Offences under this legislation are recorded in the ‘Other indictable or triable either way offences’ classification and cannot be separately identified from other offences within that classification. As a result, information on the percentage which resulted in court proceedings and convictions for those offences cannot be provided.
