§ Shona McIsaacTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many anti-social behaviour orders have been issued in the Humberside police area. [121935]
§ Mr. Charles ClarkeAs I stated in my reply to the hon. Member for Surrey Heath (Mr. Hawkins) on 21 February 2000,Official Report, column 824W, records of the numbers of anti-social behaviour orders applied for are not currently held centrally. We are not aware of any issued in the Humberside police area since the relevant provisions of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 came into force in April last year.
§ Shona McIsaacTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the disbanding of Humberside police's Drug Squad. [121934]
§ Mr. Charles ClarkeThis is an operational matter for the Chief Constable of the Humberside police. Inquiries have established, however, that there are no plans to disband the force's Drugs Squad.
