Clause 1 - Closure notice
Anti-social Behaviour Bill
12:45 pm
Mr Matthew Green (Ludlow, Liberal Democrat)
The Bill says
''give information about relevant advice providers.''
It does not say that the police are to give the advice; they are to give information about how to contact people who will give the advice. If the Bill said that the police had to explain to people what they could and could not do, I would have a great deal of sympathy with the hon. Lady. However, it is concerned merely with how people may obtain legal and housing help. Clause 1(11) says:
''information about . . . organisations . . . that provide advice about housing and legal matters''.
