Delivered

Dear Ministry of Justice,

I previously requested (https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/c...) the overall number, and cost of wrongful conviction compensation payouts.

Please could you also provide details of the following:

- I would like to know how many applications for compensation were made between 2010 and the most recent date available. Please could you provide data on how many were successful and how many were unsuccessful, broken down by year, as per my last MOJ request (e.g. 2009/2010, 2010/2011, 2011/2012... 2021/2022, 2022/2023)

- In 2011 and 2013, £16,000 was deducted from someone each year for 'living expenses'. I would like to know specifically what living expenses consist of.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,
Henrietta Taylor
