You asked

I would like to know the the number of times Section 44 of the Terrorism Act was invoked to stop and search. I would also like to know the the number of stop and searches carried out under section 44 between 2000 and the laws repeal.

Thank you for your enquiry regarding stop and search statistics. Unfortunately we do not hold the information relating to your request.

We publish statistics taken from the Crime Survey for England and Wales and crimes recorded by the police. The statistics we publish focus on the victims of crime rather than the perpetrators.

Stop and search statistics can be found in the Home Office publication titled 'Police Powers and Procedures England and Wales year ending 31 March 2017':

With regard to the data tables associated with this release, Table SS.12 provides the number of stops and searches in England and Wales carried out under the Terrorism Act 2000.

These data are published by the Home Office and any further queries should be directed to them. They can be contacted at the following email address: CrimeandPoliceStats@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk.
