Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what her planned timetable is for the introduction of Respect Orders.

Tackling anti-social behaviour is a top priority for this Government, and a key part of our Safer Streets Mission.

This is why we are introducing Respect Orders – tough behavioural orders, issued by the civil courts – to tackle the most persistent adult ASB offenders and ensure that our communities are free from harm.

The Respect Order will be introduced in the first session Crime and Policing Bill.
