Can the Minister confirm that if a magistrates court makes a drinking banning order, the appeal to the Crown court is to be made in the normal time allowed for the making of appeals from the magistrates court to the Crown court in criminal matters? If so, can she tell us what that period is?

Hazel Blears (Minister of State (Policing, Security and Community Safety), Home Office; Salford, Labour)

I can assure the hon. Gentleman that the appeal is made in the normal way from the magistrates courts to the Crown court in criminal matters. He has the advantage of me as to the time period, and I am sure that he would like to enlighten the Committee in that regard, as a result of his extensive practical experience.

Question put and agreed to.
