answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2021 answer text <p>The Government is absolutely committed to tackling and preventing anti-social behaviour (ASB). We know the serious impact that ASB has on both individuals and communities.</p><p>We provided the police, local authorities and other local agencies with a range of tools and powers that they can use to respond quickly and effectively to all forms of ASB through the <em>Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014</em>. These powers are deliberately local in nature, and it is for local agencies to determine whether their use is appropriate in the specific circumstances of each individual case.</p><p>In January of this year, the Home Office updated <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/956143/ASB_Statutory_Guidance.pdf" target="_blank">statutory guidance</a> to support local agencies to make effective use of these powers and in July the <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1015382/Crime-plan-v10.pdf" target="_blank">Beating Crime Plan</a> laid out the Government’s plan for tackling crime and ASB. This included a commitment to working with local agencies and partners to drive down ASB using the full range of powers and tools in the ‘2014 Act’.</p><p>In addition, the Home Office’s Safer Streets Fund has allocated over £70m to support areas that are disproportionately affected by acquisitive crime. Many of the crime prevention measures supported by the fund, such as improved streetlighting and CCTV, are helping to tackle ASB.</p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 09/11/2021 17:15:06 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean

uin	10332
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2021 answer text <p>The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) does not have any statutory powers to enforce adherence to these regulations. The police can take action if a vehicle being used on the road is found to be in breach of the regulations. Construction and use requirements are also enforced through the annual MoT test that applies to most vehicle types and checked at the roadside and during other enforcement checks by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency.</p><p> </p><p>All vehicles used on the public roads in the UK must have the relevant type approval (unless an exemption applies to the vehicle type) and comply with the technical and general use requirements of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986. Type approval details are recorded on the DVLA’s records when the vehicle is first registered. The registered keeper of the vehicle is responsible for ensuring compliance with the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 14/06/2021 13:37:11 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean
