Opened the debate
The freight and logistics sector in North Warwickshire and Bedworth is vital, with almost a fifth of constituents working in this industry. Rachel Taylor highlights the issue of organised freight crime costing the UK economy £1 billion since 2020. She argues for more action to combat this, including creating a separate crime code for freight theft from vehicles to better track incidents, improve police response, and allow data collection on freight crime. The Bill aims to make provision about recording and investigation of freight crime.
