The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to Schedule 12 of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986, if she will make an assessment of the level of consistency of application of those guidelines by police forces.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

Application of Schedule 12 of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986, as amended (C&U), is a policing matter. Any concerns on their application should be raised with the responsible local police force(s) in question. My Department does not have any remit or plans to make an assessment on the impact of the approaches by local police forces to the application of Schedule 12 of C&U.
