The United Kingdom data consists of separate data provided by authorities in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Authorities in England first released data in March 2005. Soon after, Northern Ireland released data. Scotland and Wales followed in 2006. The quality and detail of data varies from country to country and this makes UK-wide comparisons almost impossible.
