Clause 22 - Directions to individuals who represent a risk of disorder
Violent Crime Reduction Bill

Does the hon. Lady accept that in a case such as the one I raised earlier, if a young man is quite drunk at half past nine and causing bad behaviour, the police can currently issue him with a fixed penalty notice or arrest him, whereas this provision gives the option of directing him out of the area? That seems a good way of preventing him from spending four extra hours drinking and almost certainly getting into further problems.
