Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment the Government has made of the effectiveness of hostile vehicle mitigation measures in relation to pedicabs.

The police and our security services monitor vehicle attack threats closely, and act on intelligence. All forces have reviewed security measures in place, and additional physical security measures have been put in place at some locations, for example in busy city centres and on bridges. All police forces have access to the National Barrier Asset (NBA), which is a central resource of temporary Hostile Vehicle Mitigation barriers, gates and fences that provide protection against vehicle based attacks.
The Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) provide the guidance and specifications for Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) where testing of HVM takes into account weight and speed of a vehicle. The NBA is compliant with these specifications.
