Mr. Charles Clarke

By 30 September 1999, the latest date for which this information is readily available, the following orders had been made in the pilot areas: 122 Parenting Orders, 829 Reparation Orders, one Child Safety Order and 490 Action Plan Orders. Applying for a local child curfew is an option for local authorities to consider in light of the wider crime and disorder strategies they are developing under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. No applications have yet been received.

We do not currently have breach figures, but I will write to the hon. Member as soon as they are available.

The youth justice pilots are designed to allow us to assess the operation and costs and savings of the new youth justice measures. They will inform decisions about full implementation. Subject to the evaluation, we intend to implement the new court orders in 2000–2001.
