To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many anti-social behaviour orders have been made under the provisions of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998; and how many were made against persons under the age of 18 years. [159972]

Mr. Charles Clarke

A total of 104 anti-social behaviour orders were issued in England and Wales between 1 April 1999 and 31 May 2000. A breakdown by age for the orders issued in this period is not held centrally. However provisional data collected centrally from 1 June 2000 up to 31 December 2000 show a further 73 anti-social behaviour orders being made of which 31 were for persons aged under 18 years.
