The Rural Crime (Strategy) Bill would require the Secretary of State to set up a task force to develop a strategy for tackling crime in rural areas and to ensure that strategy is then put into action. It also allows for other measures connected to improving how rural crime is prevented and responded to.
The bill is currently at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons, meaning it is in the early stage of debate and has yet to pass to committee stage.

The 2024-2026 session of Parliament has come to an end so the House of Commons is now prorogued until the next session begins on 13 May 2026. Prorogation is the formal end to the parliamentary year.
This Bill will therefore make no further progress.
No recorded votes for this bill yet.
