You asked
Please could you tell me how many of the UK retailers prosecuted for supplying illicit cigarettes or tobacco between April 2020 to March 2021 were licensed to sell National Lottery products?
We said
Thank you for your request.
We do not hold data on prosecutions of offences relating to the illegal supply of cigarettes or tobacco. Nor do we have additional information on whether these premises are licensed to sell National Lottery products.
Our publications and data typically concern crime as it is experienced by victims, or as it is recorded by police. We do not generally produce statistics on convictions or other offence outcomes.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) are primarily responsible for data on convictions.
For information relating to convictions, you can contact the Crown Prosecution Service at enquiries@cps.gov.uk.
The Ministry of Justice (MOJ) may also be able to assist you further. They can be contacted at the following email address: ESD@justice.gov.uk.
