The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of The Removal, Storage and Disposal of Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Regulations 2023 on people who have had their vehicle stolen.

Answered by Sarah Jones

Following the introduction of The Removal, Storage and Disposal of Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Regulations 2023, there has been no assessment of the potential impact on those who have had their vehicle stolen.

The Government’s role is limited to setting the statutory charges which the Police can levy when they have exercised their recovery powers for stolen vehicles.
