Mr. Hawkins: In the light of the Minister's sympathy for the stance of my local authority and my police force, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Clause 57 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Column Number: 380
Clause 58
Orders on conviction in criminal proceedings
Mrs. Brooke: I beg to move amendment No. 279, in page 54, line 33, leave out 'two years' and insert 'six months'.
Briefly, if there were the opportunity to have an ASBO rescinded after six months, that might focus the offender's mind on changing his or her behaviour in a shorter period, rather than waiting a full two years.
Mr. Denham: We are reluctant to make the change, but the hon. Lady has highlighted an anomaly in the drafting of the legislation, so we shall table an amendment on Report, when we shall discuss the matter again.
Mrs. Brooke: I thank the Minister. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Clause 58 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Clause 59

Amendment made: No. 267, in page 55, line 24, leave out from 'appeals),' to end of line 25 and insert
'after ''an anti-social behaviour order'' there shall be inserted '', an order under section 1D above,''.'.—[Mr. Denham.]
Clause 59, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
