Proceeding contribution from David Heath (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.


Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

The hon. Member for Hayes and Harlington (John McDonnell) raises an important issue. He may be pleased to note that it was frequently echoed in Committee, not least by the right hon. Member for Cardiff, South and Penarth (Alun Michael), who was, of course, the progenitor of the ASBO. It was clear that ASBOs were not intended to be part of the youth justice apparatus, which they have mutated into. It is important to remind ourselves of that, because of the way in which they have been used.
