§ Mr. Charles ClarkeAs I said in my reply to the hon. Member for Surrey Heath (Mr. Hawkins) on 21 February 2000,Official Report, column 824W, records of numbers of anti-social behaviour orders applied for are not currently held centrally. We understand that about 25–30 orders have been made in England and Wales since the order came into force in April last year.
