Written Question
Monday 21st May 2018
Asked by:
Greg Knight (Conservative - East Yorkshire)
Question
to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, (a) on which motorways and (b) at which locations on those motorways automatic number plate recognition cameras are in use; and what offences such cameras are being used to detect.
Answered by Nick Hurd
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology is used to help detect vehicles suspected of being involved in a broad range of offences, including tackling travelling criminals, organised crime groups and terrorists, and disrupting criminality at a local, force, regional and national level.
The Home Office does not hold the information on which motorways – and at which locations on those motorways – automatic number plate recognition cameras are in use. This is an operational matter for individual Chief Constables

Question
to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to address robberies and assaults by gangs on scooters and mopeds.
Answered by Victoria Atkins
- Shadow Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
We are working with other government departments, the police, industry and representative groups to identify what more can be done to prevent these crimes and to keep the public safe, and to develop an action plan focused on real and effective action.
This work sits alongside the review that the Government is currently conducting to look at the law, guidance and practice surrounding police pursuits and response driving.
