§ 72. Dr. Michael ClarkTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proposals he has for directing young offenders into anti-litter campaigns.
§ Mr. John PattenCommunity service schemes for convicted offenders must provide some work placements whose purpose is to improve the appearance and amenities of a neighbourhood. Home Office Circular 18/1989 about national standards for community service orders gives as examples for this work: cleaning off graffiti in public places; clearing litter from paths, pedestrian precincts and bus shelters; clearing waste ground; erecting litter bins. Community service orders are available for offenders aged 16 and over.
