answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2024 answer text <p>Tackling anti-social behaviour is a top priority for this Government, and a key part of our Safer Streets Mission to take back our streets.</p><p>The police are able to pursue off road bikers but any decision on whether to undertake a pursuit is an operational one, and should take account of the risk factors and proportionality in each situation. The Home Office works closely with the NPCC to understand how the safety of police pursuits can be improved.</p><p>The Government will give police the powers they need to take illegal, dangerous and antisocial bikes off the streets for good, so that they will be able to quickly destroy the bikes that they seize from offenders. We will set out more information in due course.</p> answering member constituency Kingston upon Hull North and Cottingham answering member printed Dame Diana Johnson grouped question UIN 358 question first answered 22/07/2024 16:20:35 answering member 1533 label Biography information for Dame Diana Johnson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2022 answer text <p>The Government recognises that misuse of off-road bikes can cause nuisance and distress to communities. The Minister for Safeguarding set out the Government’s approach to dealing with this problem in an adjournment debate on 20 June 2022. Data on the number of incidents is not held centrally.</p><p>Between May and September 2021, the Government held a consultation seeking views on new levels of fees applied to the removal and storage of vehicles under the Police Reform Act 2002 in England and Wales. The consultation also sought views on whether aspects of the regulations and legislation are adequate to provide a sustainable service for vehicle recovery. However, the consultation did not include plans to amend the Section 59 powers. We will shortly announce the next steps following our consultation.</p><p>The Government does not believe that the introduction of a mandatory registration scheme for off-road quad bikes would be the most effective way to tackle dangerous and anti-social use. It would also place a burden and cost on law abiding citizens who would be most impacted by the requirements.</p><p>We will continue to support the police to enforce road traffic legislation and will use every available measure to confront the scourge of antisocial behaviour.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse grouped question UIN 24579 24580 24582 24583 question first answered 29/06/2022 16:35:48 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
