Non-governmental Organisations
Mr. Sanders: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list non-governmental organisations operating in the south-west region that receive public funds from his Department; and what amount of annual funding they received in the most recent year for which figures are available. [39185]
Angela Eagle: In this reply, "non-governmental organisation" means an organisation working within the voluntary or charity sector. The available information is set out in the table.
The Home Office does not generally record this information by region. It is therefore possible that other organisations in the south-west region, which are not listed, have received support from the Home Office.
In addition, funding awarded to national organisations may have been used to support work in the south-west region. It would be a matter for the organisation concerned how they chose to allocate such resources and the Home Office would not hold that information.
(20) Crime Concern have their national headquarters in Wiltshire (in the south-west region). This payment includes £33,000 given to Crime Concern for the roll-out of 'Driving the Action' seminars to a number of regions including the south-west region.

19 Mar 2002 : Column 278W
Mr. Denham: There are 376 crime and disorder reduction partnerships in England and Wales, 354 of these are in England and 22 in Wales.
Antisocial Behaviour Orders
Mrs. May: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many antisocial behaviour orders have been issued, broken down by local authority areas, in each calendar year since their introduction. [42369]
Mr. Denham: Antisocial behaviour orders (ASBOs) are community-based civil orders, which can be applied for by the police or local authority in consultation with each other, against an individual or several individuals whose behaviour is antisocial. Applications are currently made to the magistrates court acting in its civil capacity. ASBOs were introduced from 1 April 1999.
Data on the total number of ASBOs issued between 1 April 1999 to 31 May 2000 was collected by police force area only.
From 1 June 2000 official statistics on the number of ASBOs issued are based on quarterly returns from Magistrates Courts Committees (MCCs) which from 1 April 2001 were all aligned with police force areas. These returns are not presently designed to give figures below MCC level. Available information, up to 30 September 2001, by police force/MCC area is given in the table.
(21) Total figures only available from police force areas for period 1 April 1999 to 31 May 2000.
(22) As from 1 June 2000 data collected centrally by Magistrates Courts Committee (MCC) area by quarter.
(23) Including City of London
19 Mar 2002 : Column 279W
Mrs. Brooke: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce guidance to authorities which successfully apply for ASBOs for individuals, on other rehabilitative measures which should be implemented at the same time. [41365]
Mr. Denham: Revised guidance on Anti-social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs) will be issued once the legislative changes introduced into the Police Reform Bill are available. The revised guidance will include information on agencies providing rehabilitative measures.
Mr. Andrew Turner: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department which authority is responsible for meeting the cost of applying for anti-social behaviour orders. [38329]
Mr. Denham: [holding answer 27 February 2002]: The cost of an Anti-social Behaviour Order (ASBO) is usually met by the lead agency making the application—this will either be the local authority or the local police force. In some areas there are local arrangements where the costs are divided between the two agencies.
