Detailed information on the location of arson offences, such as churches, may be held on court record but to be able to identify these cases, as they are not held centrally, we would have to access individual court records which would be of disproportionate cost. Matters relating to Scotland and Northern Ireland are matters for those respective devolved administrations.</p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 21/05/2019 16:16:04 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie
