HC Deb 21 January 2003 vol 398 c257W
Lady Hermon

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on proposals to link antisocial behaviour to housing benefit penalties in Northern Ireland. [91302]

Mr. Browne

There are at present no proposals in Northern Ireland to link antisocial behaviour to housing benefit penalties. The proposed Housing (NI) Order contains a range of other measures to deal with antisocial behaviour in social housing.
