HC Deb 13 June 2003 vol 406 c381W
Mr. Webb

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what the basis was for his statement on page 1 of Annex B of his Consultation Paper on Housing Benefit Sanctions and Anti-Social Behaviour regarding the relative effects of anti-social behaviour on(a) tenants in social housing and (b) people in deprived areas. [116726]

Malcolm Wicks

There have been a number of recent analyses of anti-social behaviour. For example:

The Report of Policy Action Team 8: Anti-social behaviour, published in March 2000; and

Anti-social Behaviour and Disorder: Findings from the 2000 British Crime Survey. Findings 145 (Budd T and Sims L; Home Office 2001), quoted in Tackling Antisocial Behaviour in Mixed Tenure Areas (research report; ODPM 2003).

Both reports covered the areas referred to in the consultation paper.
