The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to help tackle car theft.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

This Government is determined to drive down vehicle crime and we are working closely with the automotive industry and police to ensure there is a robust and rapid response whenever people have their cars stolen.

We will also bring forward legislation in the upcoming Crime and Policing Bill to ban electronic devices used to steal vehicles, empowering the police and courts to target the criminals using, manufacturing and supplying those devices.
