Clause 53 - Sale of aerosol paint to children
Anti-social Behaviour Bill
9:45 am
Mr Nick Hawkins (Surrey Heath, Conservative)
That is not our contention. The reason why I wanted to intervene was not to correct the Minister's mistake, although it is a misstatement of our position: we recognise the need for more fully qualified police to be on our streets dealing with all types of crime.
After the Committee has finished, will the Minister write to me and other Committee members showing the exact legislative provisions in New York? I should be interested to see whether those provisions specifically go up to the age of 18.
