§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the police forces that are currently using the Justices of the Peace Act 1361 instead of the Public Order Act 1986 to combat anyone causing a nuisance; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Charles WardleThe only extant power from the Justices of the Peace Act 1361 is for magistrates to make binding over orders. Information on the number of orders made under the 1361 Act and on the circumstances leading to the making of those orders is not available centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
