HC Deb 12 December 2001 vol 376 c860W
28. Alan Howarth

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many antisocial behaviour orders have been made in Wales. [20065]

Mr. Touhig

Four. The Minister of State with responsibility for crime reduction, policing and community safety, my right hon. Friend the Member for Southampton, Itchen (Mr. Denham), recently participated in a Wales-wide seminar to promote ASBOs. I anticipate that this well attended event will result in greater exchange of best practice and lead to an increase in the number of ASBOs being applied for in Wales.
