Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to tackle criminal use of motorcycles, mopeds and scooters.

The Government is very concerned about crime enabled by motorcycle, moped and scooters. On 12 September, together with the Policing and Fire Service Minister Nick Hurd MP, I will co-chair an event, bringing together motor and insurance industry leaders, law enforcement partners, local government agencies, as well as youth charities and other groups, on addressing this emerging threat and to identify actions to reduce this type of crime.
