Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to reduce the level of vehicle theft in the West Midlands.
To support the fight against crime, West Midlands Police are receiving £568.8m in funding in 2019/20, an increase of £34.4m on 2018/19.
The previous Policing Minister chaired a Vehicle Theft Taskforce which brought together the police, the motor industry and others. The Government continues to work with partners to ensure that the response to this crime is as robust as it can be.
