uin	143808
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2023 answer text <p>If the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is notified of a suspected cloned vehicle investigations will be carried out and where appropriate, a replacement vehicle registration number will be issued. The table below shows the number of occasions where a member of the public contacted the DVLA about correspondence, fines or penalties they had received about vehicles they did not recognise or accept responsibility for. The table also shows the volume of replacement registration numbers issued.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Number of contacts to the DVLA</p></td><td><p>Number of replacement registration numbers issued</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020</p></td><td><p>7,400</p></td><td><p>143</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021</p></td><td><p>7,434</p></td><td><p>61</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2022</p></td><td><p>7,769</p></td><td><p>101</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>In these circumstances, suspected cloning is just one potential reason why someone might receive such correspondence. It is likely that a proportion of these cases will have been the result of an error on the part of an organisation or their customer when requesting vehicle keeper details. Where a vehicle keeper believes their vehicle or number plate has been cloned, the correct course of action is to report this to the police for further investigation. The DVLA may also pass on any intelligence gathered to the police, who are responsible for enforcement.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency North West Durham answering member printed Mr Richard Holden question first answered 20/02/2023 15:04:02 answering member 4813 label Biography information for Mr Richard Holden

uin	143773
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/02/2023 answer text <p>The safety and security of rail passengers is of paramount importance for the Government and train operators. We continue to work with partners across industry and Government to deliver against the Violence Against Women and Girls Transport Champions’ recommendations published last March.</p><p> </p><p>The Government also requires train operators to design and deliver a Safeguarding on Rail Scheme which is designed to help all customers and especially those who are most vulnerable and in need of support. We continue to work with the industry, the British Transport Police and other partners to tackle anti-social, aggressive and intimidating behaviour on the railway and make it easier to report incidents. For example, the British Transport Police’s Travel Safety App (Railway Guardian) was released in July 2022, providing a one-stop-shop containing tools and advice to assist in safe travel across the railway. All passengers are encouraged to report any incidents or concerns they have to the British Transport Police’s ‘61016’ number. In addition, users of the Railway Guardian app can also report crime directly to the British Transport Police via its online crime reporting system, as well as there being a function to report safety issues directly to the rail operators.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 21/02/2023 12:36:25 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman
