To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many vehicles were seized under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002 for offences related to anti-social car meets or street racing in (a) Basingstoke, (b) Hampshire and (c) England in each of the last 10 years.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many vehicles were seized under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002 for offences related to anti-social car meets or street racing in (a) Basingstoke, (b) Hampshire and (c) England in each of the last 10 years.
Acts of anti-social behaviour (ASB) - such as the arrangement of illegal car meets - cause great harm, distress and nuisance to our communities, and, if left unchecked, can lead to even more serious offending. That is why tackling ASB is a top priority for this Government, and a key part of our Safer Streets Mission, and it is also why we are putting 13,000 additional police officers and community support officers back on the beat to restore effective and visible neighbourhood policing in communities like Basingstoke.
As recently announced by the Home Secretary, the Respect Orders we will introduce in the forthcoming Crime and Policing Bill will enable the courts to place wide-ranging restrictions on the behaviour of the most persistent and disruptive ASB offenders. Breaches of those orders will be a criminal offence, and the courts will have a wide range of sentencing options for those convicted, including community orders, unlimited fines and, for the most severe cases, up to two years' imprisonment.
The Home Office publishes statutory Guidance for police and local authorities on the use of the anti-social behaviour powers under the Anti-social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014, and this will be updated to include the Respect Order. The Respect Order will be piloted to ensure it is as effective as possible, before national roll-out.
Section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002 empowers the police to issue a warning to anyone driving both in a careless and inconsiderate manner on road or off-road without consent and in a way which causes alarm, distress or annoyance to members of the public. If the driver ignores the warning to stop the behaviour, the police can seize the vehicle. It is then only released on payment of prescribed fees.
The Home Office has recently announced plans to strengthen this law so that these vehicles can be seized by police when they are used to commit anti-social behaviour, including illegal street racing, without the necessity to issue a prior warning, thereby speeding up effective enforcement action and allowing the police to swiftly seize vehicles being used anti-socially.
The Home Office does not collect data on vehicles seized under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what data her Department holds on the use of section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002 by police forces to tackle nuisance behaviour involving (a) motorbikes, (b) e-bikes, (c) e-scooters, (d) quad bikes and (e) any other type of...

Information about the powers the police use to tackle anti-social behaviour (ASB) incidents is not held centrally by the Home Office, and is collected by HMICFRS.
The Home Office collects and publishes data about the number of ASB nuisance incidents on a quarterly basis, however information about which of these incidents involved motor vehicles is not currently identifiable.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes data quarterly on the proportion of respondents who experienced types of ASB in their local area, including “Vehicle related behaviour”, in the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) – however the type of vehicle used is not currently identifiable.
Both the ONS and Home Office datasets for ASB in the year to March 2024 can be found here:
Information for the year to June 2024 will be published on 24th October 2024.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department has made a recent assessment of the potential merits of recording the number of off-road vehicles seized by police under section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department has made a recent assessment of the potential merits of recording the number of off-road vehicles seized by police under section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002.
The Government recognises that the criminal use of off-road bikes is a serious problem which can cause nuisance and distress to communities. The police have the power under section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002 to seize vehicles, including off-road vehicles being used in a criminal manner.
No assessment has been made on the merits of recording the number of off-road vehicles seized by the police under section 59 powers.
Enforcement of road traffic law is an operational matter for the Chief Constable in conjunction with local Police and Crime Commissioners to determine based on local policing priorities.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of Section 59 of the Police Reform Act as a deterrent for the use of off road bikes and four by four vehicles in instances of anti social behaviour.

The Government recognises that misuse of off-road bikes can cause nuisance and distress to communities. The Minister for Safeguarding set out the Government’s approach to dealing with this problem in an adjournment debate on 20 June 2022. Data on the number of incidents is not held centrally.
Between May and September 2021, the Government held a consultation seeking views on new levels of fees applied to the removal and storage of vehicles under the Police Reform Act 2002 in England and Wales. The consultation also sought views on whether aspects of the regulations and legislation are adequate to provide a sustainable service for vehicle recovery. However, the consultation did not include plans to amend the Section 59 powers. We will shortly announce the next steps following our consultation.
The Government does not believe that the introduction of a mandatory registration scheme for off-road quad bikes would be the most effective way to tackle dangerous and anti-social use. It would also place a burden and cost on law abiding citizens who would be most impacted by the requirements.
We will continue to support the police to enforce road traffic legislation and will use every available measure to confront the scourge of antisocial behaviour.
