§ Mr. BerminghamTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what percentage of(a) probation orders and (b) community service orders successfully ran their course during 1992.
§ Mr. MacleanThe information published in the 1992 probation statistics for England and Wales, a copy of which is in the Library, shows that 81 per cent. of probation orders terminated successfully in 1992, in the sense that 65 per cent. ran their full course, 3 per cent. were replaced by a conditional discharge and 13 per cent. were terminated early by the courts for good progress. In the same year 923W 72 per cent. of community service orders terminated successfully, in the sense that the specified number of hours was completed without termination of the order for failure to comply with its requirements, conviction of another offence or for other reasons.
