It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Sir Mark, and I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for North Warwickshire and Bedworth (Rachel Taylor) on securing this debate. As was very clear from her remarks, she has a huge interest in, and knowledge of, these important matters. The Government will work with partners—including the police—to mount an effective response to freight crime rates which have risen over the past few years. We are restoring visible neighbourhood policing through our neighbourhood policing guarantee, delivering thousands of neighbourhood police, community support officers, and special constables. On freight and related vehicle crimes specifically, we are working closely with the automotive industry and NaVCIS to provide dedicated specialist intelligence and enforcement. A network of vehicle crime specialists has been established involving every police force in England and Wales to help share information about emerging trends in vehicle crime so that we can better tackle regional issues. We will also bring forward legislation to ban electronic devices used to steal vehicles, empowering the police and courts to target criminals using, manufacturing and supplying them. The Policing Minister recently met the National Police Chiefs' Council lead for vehicle crime, Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims, to discuss these issues and how we can work more effectively together. A task and finish group on HGV facilities will complete its work in January, focusing on increasing capacity for safe and secure parking and driving the industry's adoption of existing HGV parking standards. The Government are prioritising improvements to the planning system, with new language on freight and logistics in the national planning policy framework recognising the importance of considering freight in planning. We acknowledge the involvement of serious and organised criminals in committing freight crime and are investing £58 million in the National Crime Agency to strengthen data analysis and intelligence capabilities. The Government completely recognise the significant importance of the freight sector, which accounts for 5% of gross value added to the UK non-financial business economy.
