Agricultural Machinery and Motor Vehicles: Theft
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ashton of Hyde on 2 January (HL12281), what assessment they have made of the use of GPS jammers in the theft and export of stolen vehicles and farm machinery.
- Answer
-
The Government has not carried out a specific assessment of the use of GPS jammers in the theft and export of stolen vehicles and farm machinery.
However, we are working with industry, the police and others to look at what more we can do to tackle vehicle crime, including where this is enabled by tools such as jammers. This work is being overseen by a new vehicle crime taskforce chaired by the Policing Minister.
