Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Nick Smith and Rob Marris

Monday 23rd January 2017 Commons Chamber

[Nick Smith (Blaenau Gwent) (Lab)]

T8. Off- road bikers are vandalising the mountains above Blaenau Gwent. These troublemakers churn up the land, worry animals and intimidate local people.

[Rob Marris (Wolverhampton South West) (Lab)]

That’s the Tories. [Laughter.]

[Nick Smith]

Them too, sometimes.

Off-road bikers often go where the police cannot. Will the Home Office look into the possibility of resources, agreement and licensing to enable drones to be used to help us to tackle the problem?
