Probation: Hemel Hempstead
Mike Penning: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what the average ratio of offenders to Probation Service staff in the Hemel Hempstead probation area was in each of the last five years. [284321]
Maria Eagle: The ratio of offenders supervised by Hertfordshire probation area to Hertfordshire probation staff (unfortunately the caseload is not broken down to constituency level) as at 31 December each year is as shown in the following table. The ratio for offender management staff has also been provided as this represents a full picture of the workload (it should also be noted that this includes trainee probation officers, who would have a low protected caseload).
| Total staff : offenders | Offender managers : offenders | |
Probation Officers
Mr. Mullin: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many trainee probation officers are expected to qualify in (a) Northumbria and (b) England and Wales in September 2009; how many in each category he estimates will be offered full-time employment as trained probation officers; and if he will make a statement. [285567]
Maria Eagle: In October 2009 24 trainee probation officers (TPOs) are due to qualify in Northumbria and a total of 518 are due to qualify in England and Wales. A recent survey of the 42 probation areas, who are the employers, has shown that it is too soon to accurately estimate how many TPOs will be offered permanent posts upon graduation.
Roads: Accidents
Dr. Kumar: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many criminal convictions have resulted from hit and run incidents in (a) the North East, (b) Tees Valley and (c) Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland constituency in each year since 1997. [285334]
Claire Ward: The available information on the findings of guilt at all courts for the offence of 'failing to stop after an accident' in Cleveland Police Force Area, and the North East Region for the years 1997 to 2007 is shown in the table.
Data for 2008 will be available in the autumn of 2009.

| (1) Not all hit and run incidents are pursued through the courts-minor ones in particular may not involve police attendance and may not be reported to the police by the injured party. (2) "Hit and run" usually refers to a collision in which someone was injured or killed. The offence of failure to stop is also committed if there has only been damage but such incidents cannot be distinguished from those involving injury or death. (3) A person involved in a hit and run incident may be convicted of a more serious offence such as dangerous driving. (4) North East region includes figures for Cleveland police force area. (5) 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 courts and police forces. 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.
