Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Meg Hillier (Labour). It was answered by Lord Garnier (Conservative) on Tuesday, 15 November 2011 on behalf of the Attorney General.
Gang Injunctions
- Question
- What discussions he has had with the Crown Prosecution Service on progress in issuing gang injunctions.
- Answer
-
None, is the short answer. The Crown Prosecution Service does not have a formal role in applying for or issuing gang injunctions. Those are a civil law tool applied for by the police and local authorities and ordered by the court. A failure to comply with the terms of an injunction is not of itself a criminal offence. That said, the CPS has an interest with other agencies in tackling illegal gang activity. The hon. Lady has been at the forefront in her own constituency and in the House in helping to deal with gangs, and I commend her for that.
