(2) how many full or part-time probation officers in the Greater London area left the service in each of the last five years. [166080]
Maria Eagle: Information is not available for the full period requested. Data collected prior to April 2003 were collated by a different source which did not break down the requested data by probation area and are not directly comparable with the more accurate figures collected since that time. Information on leavers was also unavailable for Quarter 1, 2003-04.
The figures presented in the following tables show full-time equivalent (FTE) figures as at 31 December for each year and July 2003 respectively and relate to London Probation Region in its entirety. London Region was formed in 2001 following the merger of Inner London and Greater London Probation Areas.

PND data are a count on PND tickets issued. (2) Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the police forces and courts. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when those data are used.

The Licensing Act 1964 S.169 A & B as added by Licensing (Young Persons) Act 2000 S.1, the Licensing Act 1964 S.181 A(1) as added by Licensing Act 1988 S.17 and the Licensing Act 2003 S.146 and 147, which came into effect from 24 November 2005, so data prior to 2005 is not available.
