Violent Crime Reduction Bill

Proceeding contribution from David Lepper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bills on Violent Crime Reduction Bill.
I thank my hon. Friend. I welcome the proposals that the Home Secretary has put before us and has just outlined, although I suspect that the close working between the local authority, the police and the licensed trade in Brighton and Hove may mean that we will have no alcohol disorder zones. However, once these measures are on the statute book, will he liaise closely with the Lord Chancellor? I have in mind the fact that, in relation to antisocial behaviour orders—I think that there is a parallel—there is concern still that magistrates are perhaps not as aware as they might be of the full range of their powers. I suspect that, when this Bill becomes law, they may not be fully aware of the range of their powers when these orders are breached.
