Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to help tackle antisocial behaviour in (a) Bolton North East constituency and (b) the UK.
Answered by Diana Johnson - Minister of State (Home Office)
Tackling anti-social behaviour is a top priority for this Government and a key part of our Safer Streets Mission.
We are committed to delivering an additional 13 000 police officers, PCSOs and special constables into neighbourhood policing roles so residents know who to turn to when things go wrong. We will crack down on those causing havoc on our high streets by introducing tougher powers, including new Respect Orders to tackle repeat offending and to get persistent offenders off our streets.

Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to help tackle speeding on residential streets in Bolton North East constituency.
Answered by Diana Johnson - Minister of State (Home Office)
Excess speed is still a major cause of death and serious injury on our roads. Anyone who breaks the speed limit should expect to face a swift and strong sanction.
Enforcement of speeding offences in Bolton North East constituency and the deployment of available resources and capabilities is an operational matter for Greater Manchester’s Chief Constable and Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime Police to determine, taking into account the specific local problems and demands with which they are faced.
