I recognise the challenges involved in dealing with those who use bridle paths and footpaths inappropriately and ruin them for the majority of other people. The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right, and both he and the police deserve credit for wanting to crack down on such practices. The use of drones is another good example of modern technology. Police forces and fire brigades are sharing them, and I would encourage the hon. Gentleman’s local police force to consider doing the same. It might be possible to make a bid through the police transformation fund.

Them too, sometimes. Off-road bikers often go where the police cannot. Will the HomeOffice look into the possibility of resources, agreement and licensing to enable drones to be used to help us to tackle the problem?
