Driving Offences: Arrests

Asked by Sarah CoombesLabourHome OfficeTabled Answered 20 November 2025UIN 91627

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many drivers were arrested of a driving offence while on bail for causing death by careless or dangerous driving for each of the last five years.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The data requested is not held centrally.

The Home Office collects data on arrests by offence group in England and Wales as part of the Police Powers and Procedures statistical series. The latest data is available here: Stop and search, arrests, and mental health detentions, March 2025 - GOV.UK

However, the data is collected by broader offence group, such as ‘violence against the person’ or ‘miscellaneous crimes against society’. Data on arrests for non-notifiable offences is not collected. Additionally, we do not collect information centrally on whether a person was on bail at the time of their arrest.
