tabling member printed	Lord Truscott
uin	HL8885
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2018 answer text <p>The Government is not considering a ban on pillion riding on motorised vehicles.</p><p>Reports of crimes involving motorcycles, mopeds and scooters are clearly a concern. That is why the Government has worked with the police, industry and other partners to develop a comprehensive action plan focusing on what more can be done to prevent offending and keep the public safe. The impact on the motorcycle community is a key consideration in our work to prevent these crimes. Indeed, we are keen to ensure that law abiding riders and passengers are not unnecessarily impacted.</p><p>This work sits alongside the consultation on police pursuits that the Government launched on 22 May which seeks to give police greater confidence to pursue suspects and will help tackle these crimes. The proposals include plans to make clear in law that a suspect is responsible for their own decision to drive dangerously and blame should not be attached to the pursuing officer.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 05/07/2018 16:37:51 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/06/2018 answer text <p>​The rule of the Asad regime has caused untold human suffering in Syria, fuelled instability and terrorism and created the space for Daesh. We believe that in the long term Syria needs an inclusive government which can unite the country and protect the rights of all Syrians.
