Clause 53 - Sale of aerosol paint to children
Anti-social Behaviour Bill
9:30 am
Ms Siobhain McDonagh (Mitcham and Morden, Labour)
My hon. Friend was wrong then and he is right now—[Laughter.] We take great pleasure in someone who repents. I completely understand how people view decisions about problems of antisocial behaviour, but I do not go on about them just because I want something to go on about. I do so because they trouble my constituents, many of whom are voiceless and vulnerable. Graffiti has become one such problem. My hon. Friend the Minister is now aware that we have tried many voluntary codes that simply have not worked.
