Probation: Manpower

Mr. Heath: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many (a) members of staff and (b) probation officers were employed by each local probation service in each of the last 10 years. [150790]

Mr. Hanson: Information is not available for the full period requested. Data collected prior to 1 April 2003 are unreliable, and are not directly comparable with the more accurate figures collected since that time. The figures presented in the following table show full time equivalent (FTE) figures for the period 2003-2006. The figures for each year are as at 31 December.
