National Vehicle Crime Intelligence Service: Finance

Asked by Mr Richard HoldenConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 13 January 2026UIN 101864

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment the Department has made of whether funding arrangements for NaVCIS are adequate to meet levels of operational demand across the freight and logistics sector.

Answered by Sarah Jones

We fully recognise the serious and growing threat that freight crime poses to businesses, drivers, and the wider economy.

The Government does not fund NaVCIS. Instead NaVCIS is funded by industry, including finance and leasing companies, insurers and hauliers.

NaVCIS is a national policing unit that provides dedicated specialist intelligence, and it engages with a range of partners to tackle organised vehicle crime.
