</p><ul><li>Select ‘191A Television licence evasion’ in the Offence filter; prosecutions
can be found in row 23 and convictions are in row 24.</li><li>To see these figures
for females, select ’02: Female’ in the Sex filter.</li></ul><p> </p><p>The Ministry
of Justice court proceedings database counts prosecutions at the point of completion
at magistrates’ court and therefore we do not hold the number of ongoing cases for
TV licence non-payment.</p>
