Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 31 March 2025

Debate

Off-road Bikes

Contribution

My hon. Friend is right, and people in Mansfield should not be terrorised by deliberate harassment by people on off-road bikes. That is why we are strengthening the law through the Crime and Policing Bill, but it is also why we support the work that some police forces are doing—for example, the work I have seen in Staffordshire where they were using drones to follow those on off-road bikes and make swift seizures or arrests.
