<p /> <p>I apologise for the delay in replying. The table below provides details of
index offence and length of sentence of those absconders who are unlawfully at large
having absconded between April 2004 and March 2014 (the most recent period that statistics
are available). Information prior to April 2004 could only be collated by performing
manual checks across different databases and could only be achieved at disproportionate
cost.</p><p> </p><p>In order to disclose the names of absconders who are unlawfully
at large, it is necessary to make appropriate checks to ensure that disclosure will
not jeopardise ongoing Police operations to recapture the offender, will not place
any one else in danger and to ensure that any victim has been informed of both the
abscond and release of the name. These checks are still on-going and I will write
shortly as soon as the information has been prepared.</p><p> </p><p>The number of
absconds has reduced by 80% over the last 10 years.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Table1:
