To ask the Scottish Executive how many anti-social behaviour orders have been applied for to date by each local authority.
Answer
The Chartered Institute of Housing in Scotland has been commissioned by the Executive to undertake an annual exercise to determine the use being made of anti-social behaviour orders (ASBOs). In the period from 1 April 1999, when ASBOs came into force, to 1 December 1999, some 15 ASBOs had been applied for, of which nine had been granted.
Figures for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2000 were published in May 2001. They show that the number of ASBOs applied for had risen to 96; 52 of these were granted. The study did not break the figures down by local authority area. Copies of the report, entitled Monitoring the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, have been placed in the Parliament's Reference Centre (Bib. number 14116).

To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-17309 by Rhona Brankin on 21 August 2001, whether it is aware that Mellon Charles near Aultbea was sited as an example of a land storage site for cut-out submarine reactors in a report by Lancaster University for the Ministry of Defence.
Answer
Yes, I am aware that it was an example among many that the Ministry of Defence considered in its review of options for the storage of reactor compartments. I understand that the role of the University of Lancaster was to undertake, on behalf of the Ministry of Defence, a public consultation on this issue.
