Mr. Denham

The number of notifications received by the Home Office of Anti Social Behaviour Orders (ASBO)s issued, from 1 October 2001 up to 30 September 2002 (latest available), within the Humberside Magistrates Court Committee area, (which includes the East Riding of Yorkshire local authority, in which the Haltemprice and Howden constituency is located), are shown, by local authority, in the table.

We are aware that the numbers of ASBOs made nationally have been consistently under reported in returns made by magistrates' courts and are considering how reporting can be improved.
