To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what measures he proposes to tackle disorder and anti-social behaviour. [30369]

The Crime and Disorder Bill contains a number of new powers. Chief of these are: statutory local crime prevention partnerships led jointly by local authorities and the police; Anti-social Behaviour Orders which local authorities and the police will be able to seek from a court to restrict the behaviour of those who engage in such conduct; welfare-based Child Safety Orders to protect children under 10 from developing offending behaviour; and local child curfews to protect both young children and their local communities.
