HC Deb 31 March 2003 vol 402 c572W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many anti-social behaviour orders have been made in the Greater London area during the last 12 months. [105269]

Mr. Bob Ainsworth

From 1 October 2001 to 30 September 2002 (latest available) the number of ASBOs, notified to the Home Office, as being issued within the Greater London Magistrates' Courts Association (GLMCA) area is six.

We are aware that the numbers of ASBOs made nationally have been consistently under reported in returns made by magistrates' courts and are considering how reporting can be improved.
