I have a great deal of sympathy with what my hon. Friend has said in the latter part of his supplementary question. I would only add that I think that the responsibility lies on the young people themselves as well as upon the parents, on the schools and on all those who come into contact with them, including the media of publicity.

As regards the short-term problem, I have not heard any criticism suggesting that the sentences imposed on some of these troublemakers last time were too light, and I hope that, with the new powers which I am inviting Parliament to give, it will be possible to make absolutely clear to everybody that this sort of hooliganism does not pay.
