Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department pursuant to the answer of 2 November 2004, Official Report, column 187W, how many of the persons given a custodial sentence for breach of an antisocial behaviour order (ASBO) (a) received a custodial sentence for other offences on the same appearance, (b) received a consecutive sentence of custody for breach of an ASBO when being dealt with for other offences on the same court appearance and (c) were being dealt with for breach of an ASBO alone. [196603] Ms Blears: Information held on the Home Office Court Proceedings Database shows that, of the 152 persons given a custodial sentence for breach of an antisocial behaviour order (ASBO); (a) the number of custodial sentences given for other offences on the same court appearance is 88, (b) the number of consecutive sentences of custody for breach of an ASBO when being dealt with for other offences on the same court appearance is 76, and (c) the number of cases which were dealt with for breach of an ASBO alone is 44. In 56 cases the defendant received a consecutive custodial sentence for breach of an ASBO and a custodial sentence for one or more other offences on the same court appearance. Hence these cases are counted under both (a) and (b) .
