Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make it her policy to end the charging of storage fees by police constabularies to victims of crime whose vehicles are seized or put into storage.

Removal, Storage and Disposal of Vehicles (Prescribed Sums and Charges) Regulations 2008 set the maximum sum that the police can charge. The decision to waive the charges is an operational matter for the police. There are no plans to change this.
