​Can I obtain the number of Fraud charges brought against post master and sub postmasters from 1985-2000.

We said

Thank you for your enquiry.

We do not hold the information that you have requested.

We publish data relating to crime statistics from two main sources: The Crime Survey for England and Wales and crimes recorded by the police and focus on the victims of crime rather than the perpetrators. Neither of these sources hold data related to the number of fraud charges requested.

Statistics relating to charges and convictions are primarily collected by the Ministry of Justice, and they may be able to provide further assistance. They can be contacted at the following email address: ESD@justice.gov.uk. The Crown Prosecution Service may also hold data on charges. They can be contacted at enquiries@cps.gov.uk.
