I want to challenge the Minister: introducing respect orders was a manifesto commitment but, with respect, the electorate would not know what a respect order was. They want the Government and politicians to tackle anti-social behaviour. They do want more respect in society. They do not know what a respect order is. We can barely understand what a respect order is ourselves and the Bill has only just been put before us. One would not be betraying the manifesto commitment by saying, “This order that we dreamt up because it has a good sounding title isn’t fit for purpose”.
