BRADFORD South MP Judith Cummins has again called for action to deal with anti-social quad bikes.

She called for a debate on Government time to give the police the powers they need to seize and destroy nuisance quads.

Speaking to the Mark Spencer MP, Leader of the House of Commons, Mrs Cummins said: “As this house will be aware, there is a growing menace of illegal and unlicensed quad bikes on our streets, and my recent ten-minute rule bill made provision for the police to seize and destroy these vehicles, for a registration scheme, make wearing of public helmets on public land compulsory, and also compel manufacturers of quad bikes to fit immobilisers to prevent theft.

"So, would the leader of the house agree with me that this problem needs to be tackled, and can we have a debate on Government time on this issue?”

Mr Spencer said: “I urge the honourable lady to raise the matter with the Home Secretary to ensure that the police have the full powers they need to continue to clamp down on anti-social behaviour."

Speaking afterwards, Mrs Cummins said: “I am continuing to push the Government to tackle the menace of unlicensed quads."
