Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what costs have been incurred in (a) legal aid and (b) other court costs arising from the issuing of anti-social behaviour orders in the last 12 months for which figures are available.
The Legal Aid Agency made payments totalling £1,309,000 in relation to stand alone anti-social behaviour order proceedings in magistrates’ courts in England and Wales between October 2013 and September 2014. HM Courts and Tribunals Service does not separately record court costs in relation to anti-social behaviour orders.
