Terrorism: Disadvantaged
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what data her Department holds data on the number and proportion of people convicted of terror offences who previously had free school meal eligibility.
Answered by Dan Jarvis
The Home Office does not collect or hold data on individuals convicted of terrorism-related offences who previously had free school meal eligibility. The Home Office collects and publishes official statistics on the individuals convicted of terrorism-related offences in the UK in the quarterly statistical release titled Operation of Police Powers under the Terrorism Act 2000 and subsequent legislation which is published on GOV.UK: Operation of police powers under the Terrorism Act 2000 statistics - GOV.UK.
This includes detailed quarterly and annual data tables for Great Britain, covering a range of individual and offence-related characteristics, such as age and the principal offence those individuals are convicted under terrorism legislation. The latest statistical release is available for the year ending June 2025: Operation of police powers under TACT 2000, to June 2025 - GOV.UK.
