Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Richard Baker and Mark Ferguson

Monday 7th July 2025 Commons Chamber

[Richard Baker (Glenrothes and Mid Fife) (Lab)]

17. What recent progress her Department has made on tackling antisocial behaviour.

[Mark Ferguson (Gateshead Central and Whickham) (Lab)]

25. What recent progress her Department has made on tackling antisocial behaviour.

[The Minister for Policing and Crime Prevention (Dame Diana Johnson)]

The Government are determined to crack down on antisocial behaviour, and tackling it is a central theme of our safer streets summer initiative, which is currently under way in over 500 towns. Our Crime and Policing Bill will provide policing with a suite of new powers to tackle antisocial behaviour, including respect orders to get persistent offenders out of town centres, and stronger powers to seize dangerous and deafening off-road bikes. I again remind the House that the Conservatives voted against those measures recently.
