The number of people charged in England and Wales after being detained under the PTA in 1989 was 12. Of these 8 were charged with "relatively minor offences"(six being dealt with by the court on the same or next day and two released on bail). One of the four others was released in January 1990 after the DPP decided to offer no evidence.
