Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of his Department’s anti-tampering proposals for motorcycles preventing activities such as restoration, repairs and legitimate improvements to vehicles; and if he will make an assessment of the potential effect of the introduction of those proposals on the growth of enterprises producing anti-tampering parts for motorcycles.

The Department ran a public consultation from 28 September to 22 November 2021 seeking views on proposals to tackle tampering. As part of the consultation, the Department sought views and evidence on the potential effect of proposals, which are not intended to prevent activities such as restoration, repairs and legitimate improvements to vehicles.

The Government will consider all responses received and undertake an assessment of the impact of any proposals that are taken forward.
