Dear Mr James

SUBJECT: Freedom of Information Request

Thank you for your email of 3 March, in which you asked for the number of reported

crimes of Treason which have been reported within the UK from the

year 1970 up until the present day from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ).

Your request has been handled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).

I have conducted a thorough search of our paper and electronic records and unfortunately the information you have requested is not held by the MoJ.

You may however wish to direct your request to the Home Office as they may hold some of the information you are seeking. I have included their contact details below:

Email: [email address]

Please mark your correspondence FOIA.

I am sorry that on this occasion I have not been able to be of more assistance.

As part of our obligations under the FOIA, the MoJ has an independent review process. If you are dissatisfied with this decision, you may write to request an internal review. The internal review will be carried out by someone who did not make the original decision, and they will re-assess how the Department handled the original request.

If you wish to request an internal review, please write or send an email to the Data Access and Compliance Unit within two months of the date of this letter, at the following address:
