To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to tackle antisocial behaviour on high streets and in town centres.
Diana R. Johnson
The Minister of State, Home Department
Town centres and high streets are the heart of our communities but for far too long rampant antisocial behaviour, shoplifting and street crime has been corroding people’s sense of safety in their communities.
That’s why this Government will put thousands of neighbourhood police and community support officers back on the beat in local communities so residents know who to turn to when things go wrong, and we will crack down on those causing havoc on our high streets with new Respect Orders so local people can take back their town centres from thugs and thieves.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
