Clause 36 - Anti-social behaviour orders
Anti-social Behaviour Bill
9:10 am
Mr Nick Hawkins (Surrey Heath, Conservative)
I am grateful to the Minister for the constructive way in which he is approaching the amendments. I understand his point, but will he undertake to talk to those at the sharp end, who will have to deal with ASBO proceedings and conduct cases, as they have been doing under the existing law, and ask them whether they are worried that the Bill's wording is too restrictive? If he undertakes to do that, I shall happily withdraw the amendment.
