As the Deputy is aware, under the provisions of the Courts Service Act 1998, management of the courts is the responsibility of the Courts Service, which is independent in exercising its functions, including the provision of information on the courts system.
However, in order to be of assistance to the Deputy, I have had enquiries made and the Courts Service has informed me that the information sought by the Deputy in relation to the number of persons convicted of a serious sexual offence per annum (sexual assault/rape) is available in the Courts Service Annual Reports 2010 – 2017.
