question text	To ask His Majesty's Government how many appeals against the issue of Community Protection Notice were successful in each year since 2015; and whether they have any plans to review the appeals process to ensure that it is operating as intended.
tabling member printed	Lord Moylan
uin	HL179
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2023 answer text <p>It is for local areas to decide how best to deploy the powers in the <a href="https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2014/12/contents/enacted" target="_blank"><em>Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014</em></a>, including Community Protection Notices (CPN), depending on the specific circumstances. They are best placed to understand what is driving the behaviour in question, the impact that it is having, and to determine the most appropriate response. The Home Office do not hold any data on appeals.</p><p>The Home Office published <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/anti-social-behaviour-crime-and-policing-bill-anti-social-behaviour" target="_blank">statutory guidance</a> to support local areas to make effective use of these powers. The guidance sets out the importance of focusing on the needs of the victim and the local community, as well as ensuring that the relevant legal tests are met. This guidance was updated in March 2023 to ensure a victim-centred approach to tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB) as well as stronger use of the powers and tools in the 2014 Act. The guidance is regularly reviewed and updated in line with stakeholder feedback on the powers to ensure greater and more consistent use.</p><p>On 27 March 2023, in parallel with publication of the Anti-social Behaviour Action Plan, the Government launched a consultation on the ASB powers and Community Safety Partnerships (CSPs). The consultation, which was referenced in the ASB Action Plan, was intended to garner views on strengthening powers, including CPNs, to tackle ASB; and strengthening the relationship between CSPs and Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) to give PCCs a greater role in CSP activity, including how they tackle ASB. A Government response to the findings in the consultation will be published in due course.</p> answering member printed Lord Sharpe of Epsom question first answered 23/11/2023 18:01:03 answering member 4888 label Biography information for Lord Sharpe of Epsom

tabling member printed	Baroness Ritchie of Downpatrick
uin	HL180
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2023 answer text <p>Government departments are engaging with stakeholders across all affected sectors in all parts of the United Kingdom and the EU to ensure that they understand the coming changes outlined in the Border Target Operating Model and are ready to continue to move goods across the border. We have not identified any specific risk of disruption to imports to the UK as a consequence of the BTOM at this stage and will continue to engage with all parts of the supply chain ahead of each implementation stage.</p><p>In implementing this new control regime for the first time on EU imports we are carefully monitoring the range of potential risks, including those that may impact food supply-chains.</p><p>We are working with importers to try to manage those risks in a structured way, considering whether there are appropriate contingencies which we or they can deploy if and when required.</p><p>In accordance with usual practice, we will undertake a programme of operational testing with users of the border prior to the changes being implemented to ensure that any potential issues are identified and resolved. We recognise this new model for importing Sanitary and Phytosanitary goods will require some businesses and their supply-chains to adapt their business models.</p><p>Information is being shared through a series of live and virtual engagement events and communications outlining actions required as a result of the new changes. Guidance is available on GOV.UK.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 23/11/2023 16:24:22 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe
