The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many individuals in Wales pay Vehicle Excise Duty on motorcycles annually.

Answered by Treasury

Information on the amount of Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) raised annually from motorcycles registered to keepers in Wales can only be retrieved at disproportionate cost as it would require detailed analysis of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency’s vehicle records.

The table below shows the number of licensed motorcycles registered to addresses in Wales at the end of August 2026.
