Clause 38 - Penalty notices for disorderly
Anti-social Behaviour Bill
11:00 am
Mr Vernon Coaker (Gedling, Labour)
Many people will be waiting for the Government to take action on 16 and 17-year-olds and will have heard about the penalty notices scheme. Our problem is that we will have to tell them that legislation must first go through Parliament before there is a pilot scheme, which then must be evaluated. If the pilot scheme is successful, when does my hon. Friend envisage the power being available?
