Clause 1 - Closure notice
Anti-social Behaviour Bill
12:15 pm
Mr Matthew Green (Ludlow, Liberal Democrat)
Does the Minister agree that if the word ''or'' were included, the police would be brought in to deal with matters such as noise, which they do not currently have to handle? Under the amendment, a policeman would have to take the decision to close a house down because very loud music was being played every night. At the moment that is, rightly, a council matter.
