HC Deb 05 June 2000 vol 351 c158W
Mr. Fraser

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many local child curfew orders have been issued in Dorset. [124514]

Mr. Charles Clarke

No applications have been received from local authorities to establish child curfew schemes under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. Local authorities should consider the contribution such schemes could make to tackling problems of anti-social behaviour by children identified in their local crime and disorder reduction strategy.
