I have been asked to reply on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government takes driving offences extremely seriously and wants to ensure that we are doing everything we can to keep our roads safe. That is why we are legislating to increase the maximum penalty for causing death by driving whilst disqualified from two to 10 years, and create a new offence of causing serious injury by driving whilst disqualified. We are also changing the law to allow the commencement of provisions which will ensure that courts must take account of any time in prison in setting the length of a driving disqualification.<\/p>
<\/p>
The number of people found guilty for driving while disqualified in England and Wales, from 2010 to 2013 (the latest data available) can be viewed in the table.<\/p>

Due to the flexibility offered by the new National Network the National Maritime Operations Centre and CGOCs do not have fixed geographic boundaries. Minimum manning levels and workload are managed at the network rather than individual centre level as is the case with MRCCs. Therefore no specific Holyhead data is available for December 2014.<\/p> <\/p> Where there are specific issues at a MRCC, Her Majesty\u2019s Coastguard uses the current long established pairing arrangements between MRCCs.

Due to the flexibility offered by the new National Network the National Maritime Operations Centre and CGOCs do not have fixed geographic boundaries. Minimum manning levels and workload are managed at the network rather than individual centre level as is the case with MRCCs. Therefore no specific Holyhead data is available for December 2014.<\/p> <\/p> Where there are specific issues at a MRCC, Her Majesty\u2019s Coastguard uses the current long established pairing arrangements between MRCCs.
