Amendment 55A would require the Home Office to publish data on various anti-social behaviour orders, including the respect order, as well as on the important issue of stop and search being used prior to issuing these orders. Again, as I have just said to the noble Lord, Clause 7 creates only a regulation-making power. The necessary secondary legislation will be made following the passage of the Bill, which will specify further details; that will be under the negative procedure, so the noble Baroness will be able to pray against any regulations, should she wish to. I will then have to defend those regulations, which have not yet been drafted, probably in the Moses Room or possibly on the Floor of this House, depending on where they end up—so there is still parliamentary scrutiny of that power. The extent to which data will be published will be confirmed prior to regulations being made, after undertaking the consultation we have just discussed and considering the implications of publishing the data.
