Antisocial Behaviour

: I will certainly do that. As I said, I have read the report and some of the evidence provided, but not the evidence that my right hon. Friend mentions. I suspect that what we are talking about is a knee-jerk reaction to the change in the spatial organisation of licensed premises. The argument is, ““That is how premises used to be; there was less trouble then, so we should go back to that””, but I suspect that that may not be the answer. However, I will certainly read that evidence. I finish by thanking Martin Lee and the rest of the team in Manchester, which has been so effective on antisocial behaviour orders. Also, it would be wrong of me not to mention Bill Pitt, who was recognised in the honours list this new year. He has been very effective in his pioneering work on the subject in Manchester, but has also moved towards helping towns and cities across the country. He certainly has my congratulations and the thanks of the many constituents of mine whose lives were made better by the intervention of the units working for Manchester City Council.
