Freedom of Information Requests - Swifts and the Countryside and Wildlife Act 1981

[Banstead Swifts]

We have submitted three requests today:

1. Surrey Police

2. The Ministry of Justice

3. The Home Office

It was decided that these three would be the best way to source who collects and keeps all or some of the swift data.

Our request:

Dear Home Office,

We would be most grateful if you could help us with the following information:

1. Please provide the number of wildlife crimes that have been reported involving the swift, apus apus over the past 8 years and also how many of those reported were logged as a wildlife crime.
2. Of those incidents reported, please provide the following breakdown:
a. How many were attended in person?
b. How many were resolved on site with discussion and advice?
c. How many resulted in information and advice on the Countryside and Wildlife Act 1981 and Schedule 1 species?
d. How many resulted in a prosecution?

We thank you for your attention to this matter.

Yours faithfully,
