HOME DEPARTMENT

Animal Welfare

Mr. Hancock: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make it his policy to enable the disclosure of information about animal testing by the repeal of section 24 of the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986; and if he will make a statement. [192523]

Caroline Flint: I refer the hon. Member to my written statement to the House on 1 July 2004, Official Report, column 17WS, in which I announced that section 24 of the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 is to be retained for the time being and will be reviewed again in two years' time. In that statement, I also announced plans to increase openness about the use of animals in scientific procedures by publishing anonymised information about projects licensed under the 1986 Act as part of the Home Office publication scheme under the Freedom of Information Act. This can be done without repealing section 24 and will entail the publication of abstracts of project licences on the Home Office website. We expect to publish the first such abstracts later this year. In addition, the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Inspectorate will also publish it's first annual report by the end of 2004.

ASBOs

Mr. Stinchcombe: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many (a) juveniles, (b) young offenders and (c) adults in England and Wales have been sentenced to immediate custody for breach of an antisocial behaviour order in each of the last 24 months. [190143]

Paul Goggins: The information requested, obtained from the Home Office Court Proceedings Database, for the years 2001 and 2002, is shown in the table.

Statistics for 2003 will be published in November.

From 1 June 2000, up to 31 March 2004 (latest available), the Home Office has been notified of 12 ASBOs issued where restrictions imposed are specific to the City of York council area.
