[99797]

Mr. Boateng

The information is given in the table:

(6) how many offenders subject to a drug treatment and testing order have been made the subject of breach proceedings following (a) one failure to comply with the order, (b) two failures to comply, (c) three failures to comply and (d) four or more failures to comply. [100132]

Mr. Charles Clarke

The information requested is not immediately available and I will write to the hon. Member.

Mr. Lidington

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many reported breaches of drug treatment and testing orders under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 have followed(a) a single failed test, (b) two failed tests, (c) three or more failed tests and (d) other reasons; and if he will make a statement. [100127]

Mr. Boateng

No drug treatment and testing orders have been breached on the basis of failed tests alone, though the number and frequency of test failures would have been a factor taking into consideration when making decisions on breach for failure to comply with the treatment requirement of the order.
