Proceeding contribution from Lord Bradshaw (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 16 March 2011. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Road Vehicles (Powers to Stop) Regulations 2011.
Road Vehicles (Powers to Stop) Regulations 2011
Before the Minister does so, I point out to the noble Lord that in Northern Ireland we had an international border and many of the international troubles to which he has referred, which the stopping officers dealt with. The flagrant breaches of the law by lorries from one side of the border were often caught. VOSA officers have the power, as do Customs and Excise officers, to immobilise the vehicle. If there is any trouble, the police can be called anyway, but the officers have powers to stop the vehicle. That is the big sanction.
