Clause 1 - Closure notice
Anti-social Behaviour Bill
10:45 am
Ms Annette Brooke (Mid Dorset and North Poole, Liberal Democrat)
I thank the hon. Gentleman. I am sure that the Minister will deal with that point.
My main thrust is that the police should deal with policing. Local authority officers serving a closure order would be accompanied by the police in most circumstances, as it would be a dangerous situation. The power should be firmly located with the police.
