The Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 introduced special measures for witnesses in proceedings for antisocial behaviour orders (ASBOs). These measures were introduced to address concerns about the protection of vulnerable and intimidated witnesses. The measures include screening witnesses from the defendants, giving evidence through video link or in private, and the use of video recorded evidence. This makes it easier for witnesses to give evidence in the Crown and magistrates court during an ASBO hearing. Antisocial behaviour response courts have been established in magistrates courts sitting in their civil capacity to ensure that witness issues are addressed and the respect action plan announced plans to establish similar arrangements for county courts. There are also plans to introduce the same measures for ASBO victims in civil hearings as for victims in criminal cases. The Home Office has issued a good practice guide to practitioners on how best to support a witness.

Mr. Dismore: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on arrangements for supporting
witnesses in magistrates' courts. [47009]
Mr. Michael: We are committed to providing a more co-ordinated service to witnesses through the implementation locally of `National
Standards of Witness Care in the Criminal Justice System'.
Schemes supporting witnesses and other users of magistrates courts already exist in many parts of the country. Some are run by
National Association for the Care and Resettlement of Offenders, some by Victim Support, while others have been established as a
result of local initiatives. The possibility of improving support for users of magistrates courts is currently under consideration
against the backdrop of the Government's Comprehensive Spending Review. We hope it will be possible to announce the outcome of this
consideration later in the year.
