Justine Greening: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many (a) volunteers, (b) (i) full-time and (ii) part-time practitioners, (c) sessional staff, (d) administrative staff, (e) managers, (f) students/trainees and (g) others were working for youth offending teams at each June year-end since 2001; and if he will make a statement. [126109]

Mr. Sutcliffe: The information requested for 2004-05 onwards is set out in the following table.

The YJB collect data on YOT staffing numbers. Prior to 2004-05, YOT staff numbers were collected on a full-time equivalent basis and are not therefore directly comparable.

Northern Ireland

Alcoholic Drinks: Crime

David Simpson: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many people in Northern Ireland have been convicted of crimes in which alcohol has been a contributory factor in each of the last three years. [119346]

Mr. Hanson: Background information in relation to the commission of an offence is not included in court prosecution and conviction data. Conviction statistics relating to crimes in which alcohol has been a contributory factor are thus not available.

Domestic Violence

David Simpson: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many people in Northern Ireland have been convicted of assault in which the victim was (a) a female partner, (b) a male partner and (c) a child of the convicted person in each of the last three years. [119347]


15 Mar 2007 : Column 564W

Mr. Hanson: Northern Ireland court proceedings and sentencing data do not currently record the relationship between those who have been convicted of assault and their victims. I anticipate that this information will become available with the development of the Causeway information system.

Lady Hermon: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many people were rendered homeless in Northern Ireland in each of the last three years as a result of domestic violence. [128117]

Mr. Hanson: The number of applicants who specified domestic violence as a reason for presenting as homeless and the number accepted for this reason is shown in the following table.

Speed Limits: Cameras

Lady Hermon: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what revenue was generated by police speed camera operations in each Police Service of Northern Ireland district command unit area in each of the last six years. [125015]

Paul Goggins: The following table outlines the revenue generated each year by the Safety Camera Scheme since its introduction in July 2003. The figures
15 Mar 2007 : Column 565W
have been broken down by district command unit as requested. Revenue from all fixed penalty notices and conditional offers is paid to the Court Service. However, there is a mechanism to ‘Cost Recover’ funds
15 Mar 2007 : Column 566W
generated by the scheme to cover its running costs. Any surplus funds then go to Treasury along with all the other fines received from penalty notices issued outside of the scheme.
