Question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what representations he has received regarding anti-social behaviour over Hallowe'en.
Answer

Mr. Ben Chapman: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received regarding anti-social behaviour over Halloween. [145344] Ms Blears: I have previously received a few representations about anti-social behaviour over the Halloween period. In particular the issues surrounding the increase of Trick or Treating by children. The majority of children enjoy Halloween without causing problems to their community. Where any individual causes anti-social behaviour at any time of year we are determined that their behaviour is challenged and stopped, and we have provided the tools to ensure this happens.
