Clause 20 - Litter clearing notices
Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Bill
10:00 am
Mrs Anne McIntosh (Shadow Minister, Environment and Transport; Vale of York, Conservative)
The Minister will be aware that a raft of antisocial behaviour is demonstrated by people who attend raves and other organised events illegally, without the permission of the landowner. Does he intend to amend the Bill in that regard? I shall raise several items in connection with that in the clause stand part debate, so at this point I simply request that he looks favourably on the amendment.
I have described cases of antisocial behaviour. I am sure that the Minister's Department, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister or the Home Office are made aware of antisocial behaviour, damage, litter and so on that follow on from unauthorised and, to all intents and purposes, illegal events. Does he envisage extending clause 20 to cover powers to remove persons attending or preparing for raves at which antisocial behaviour might arise?
