Probation Officers: Redundancy

Volume 494: debated on Monday 15 June 2009

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what estimate he has made of the number of Probation Service (a) officers and (b) other staff in Lancashire who will be made redundant in (i) 2009-10, (ii) 2010-11 and (iii) 2011-12. (280029)

Lancashire Probation was awarded trust status with effect from 1 April 2009 and has no plans to make any employees redundant in the current financial year. In terms of future staffing levels the trust will make decisions about both the size and mix of the workforce once budgets are allocated for the financial years 2010-11 and 2011-12.
