(1) The methodology for the UKTS changed in 2005 meaning that comparisons with previous years should be treated with caution. This change occurred as a result of concerns with the quality of 2004 data, which is thought to be an under-representation of the true position. (2) North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West East Riding of Yorkshire, Kingston-upon Hull, North Lincolnshire and North-East Lincolnshire.
