Yvette Cooper

Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 31 March 2025

Debate

Off-road Bikes

Contribution

The hon. Member makes an important point. Often, particularly for older people, the way in which the bikes are used is just dangerous. The deliberate ramping up of the noise to intimidate and scare people is disgraceful antisocial behaviour. That is why we are increasing policing powers and why we want to work with policing on things like the drone use and other measures to tackle antisocial behaviour.
