Question: To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Wallace of Saltaire on 26 April (WA4–5), on what basis, and by whom, the eight police forces which are to trial a new approach to handling calls about anti-social behaviour were selected; and why South Wales Police was chosen.

Answer: The eight police forces were selected by a panel which included Home Office officials and representatives from the Association of Chief Police Officers, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and the Social Landlords Crime and Nuisance Group. The participants—including South Wales Police—were selected on the basis of a range of considerations, such as evidence of local partners' support for the work and commitment to providing a better service to repeat and vulnerable victims of anti-social behaviour, as well as the need to ensure the trials covered a mixture of rural, semi-rural and urban force areas.
