Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 January 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Antisocial Behaviour.

Antisocial Behaviour

I want to make a specific point about dispersal zones and their effectiveness in dispersing antisocial behaviour. I participate in the police parliamentary scheme. Recently, when I was on patrol in my constituency the police did their best to disperse up to 30 youths who were behaving in an antisocial manner. The police community support officers who attended that incident were not able to do very much because the trouble was not in a dispersal zone. If it had been, they would have had powers to act. To make effective use of CSOs, may I encourage, through my hon. and learned Friend, the use of dispersal zones?
