	answer	answer answer text <p>The Government supported the Equipment Theft (Prevention) Act 2023, which gained Royal Assent on 20 July 2023. The Act will require immobilisers and forensic marking to be fitted as standard to specified new agricultural equipment such as All-Terrain Vehicles and quad bikes. The Act provides a power for the Secretary of State to extend these requirements to other equipment designed for use in agricultural or commercial activities, via secondary legislation.</p><p>The Government committed to consult prior to introducing secondary legislation, to assess the feasibility of including hand-held power tools and larger agricultural equipment within the secondary legislation, and to ensure that practical considerations for manufacturers and retailers are considered fully.</p><p>A Call for Evidence was published, seeking views on these detailed matters and specifically targeted at those who may be affected by the proposals should they become legislation, including manufacturers, dealers, retailers, tradespeople and law enforcement practitioners. The call for evidence closed on 13 July and the Government’s response will be published in due course.</p><p>The Home Office is continuing to engage with stakeholders on the development of this legislation. I met retailers and manufacturers of power tools on 29 January to understand their views and the potential implications of this legislation, including the Agricultural Engineers Association.</p> question first answered 31/01/2024 15:35:06 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
