offences, there are currently no plans to require police forces to collect data for
vehicle stops under section 163 of the Road Traffic Act 1988. For non-motoring offences,
the Home Office already collates data on vehicle stops as part of the stop and search
data collection, available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-powers-and-procedures-england-and-wales-year-ending-31-march-2020"

statutory basis for data collection, the Annual Data Requirement (ADR) process, is
set by the Police Act 1996. This process works closely with policy and operational
colleagues, other government departments, National Policing Leads and other key police
stakeholders to ensure that routine statistical data required on police forces remains
proportionate and justified and eliminates unnecessary burdens. This ensures a proper
balance between the accountability and efficiency of police operation and is reviewed
on an annual basis.</p>
