Crime and Disorder Act 1988
James Brokenshire: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many parenting orders have been issued under section 8 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 where (a) an antisocial behaviour order has been made, (b) a child or young person has been convicted of an offence and (c) in any other relevant proceedings in each of the last three years. [301796]
Mr. Alan Campbell: Parenting orders under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 were piloted between 30 September 1998 and 31 March 2000 and commenced in England and Wales in June 2000. The Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003, the Criminal Justice Act 2003, Police and Justice Act 2005, and the Education and Inspections Act 2006 amended parenting orders to increase their flexibility and widen their availability.
The available information is shown in the following table which has been provided by the Youth Justice Board based on the parenting orders that youth offending teams were involved in.
| Parenting Orders by legal basis England and Wales YOTs | ||||
| England and Wales | 2005-06 | 2006-07 | 2007-08 | Total |

Crime: Public Transport
Norman Baker: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many arrests for (a) drunk and disorderly conduct, (b) assault, (c) battery, (d) sexual assault, (e) indecent exposure, (f) theft and (g) breach of an antisocial behaviour order there were on (i) trains, (ii) buses and (iii) aeroplanes in each of the last five years in the lowest recorded administrative division for which figures are available, broken down by the (A) age and (B) ethnicity of the person arrested. [302771]
Mr. Alan Campbell: The information requested on arrests is not collected centrally.
The arrests collection held by the Home Office covers arrests for recorded crime (notifiable offences) only, broken down at a main offence group level, covering categories such as violence against the person, sexual offences, robbery, burglary and drugs offences. The data are also broken down by age group, gender, ethnicity and police force area.
It is not possible to identify the number of arrests there were made on buses, trains or aeroplanes.
Crimes of Violence
Mr. Ruffley: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many and what percentage of incidents of violence against the person involved a (a) knife, (b) hitting implement, (c) glass or bottle, (d) stabbing implement, (e) firearm, (f) stone or stones, (g) syringe and (h) other implement in each police force area in 2008-09. [302446]
Mr. Alan Campbell: There are two main sources of crime statistics produced by the Home Office: the British Crime Survey (BCS) and police recorded crime.
The BCS is a victimisation survey in which respondents are asked about their experiences of crime in the last 12 months. Within this survey, respondents are asked about their experience of the use of weapons in violent incidents. Due to the relatively low number of people who experience a violent incident with a weapon, it is not possible to provide data at the police force area level.
It is possible to provide some information from various police recorded crime data sources, for knife and sharp instruments and firearm offences.
Knife and sharp instrument offences are collected by the Home Office by a special additional data collection. These data include offences where a knife or sharp instrument has been used to stab or cut, or in a threat. Included within the definition of 'Sharp instruments' are stabbing implements, bottles and glass (when broken prior to the offence) and syringes. These data are shown in Table A. The offences covered by this collection which fall within the violence against the person category are attempted murder, threats to kill, GBH and ABH.
Firearms offences data are also collected at force level via a special additional data collection. These are shown in Table B. The number of offences covered are greater than for the knife and sharp instrument collection, covering all offences within violence against the person where firearms could conceivably be used.
Tables A and B exclude homicide data as the 2008-09 data are not yet available. Publication has been pre-announced for 21 January 2010.
No data from police recorded crime are available for the other weapons types requested, hitting implements, stones or other implement.
