Proceeding contribution from Lord Hylton (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 18 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Police and Justice Bill.


Police and Justice Bill

My Lords, I welcome these two amendments, particularly as they come from the Front Bench of the official Opposition. They give me an opportunity to ask whether acceptable behaviour contracts will, if possible, always be used before proceeding to antisocial behaviour orders. It is highly desirable that restorative justice principles should be used whenever possible. I suggest that that will have the effect of an aggrieved person ending up being satisfied; if there is no particular aggrieved person, the local community, whose peace and quiet enjoyment has been disrupted, will also receive some satisfaction.
