Both orders can place a range of restrictions on individuals, and breach is a criminal offence punishable by up to five years’ imprisonment.</p><p>We are strengthening these orders through the Policing and Crime Bill, including enabling the imposition of positive requirements.</p><p>Although I am unable to comment on specific cases, I thank my Noble Friend for raising this case, and I will look into this matter to see what appropriate actions can be taken.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 09/07/2021 12:49:59 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
