Probation: Finance Mr. Heath To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what the budget was of each local probation service in each of the last 10 years. Mr. Hanson The resource budget allocations to probation boards from 2001-02 are given in the table. Prior to 2001-02, probation services were delivered through local Probation Committees which were partly funded by local authorities and were organised on a slightly different basis. During the six year period from 2001-02 there have been changes to the budget allocation methodology and to accounting treatment, which will affect the comparability of the figures.
