As organised criminality evolves, it is crucial that law enforcement have the most relevant intelligence available to them in order to detect and disrupt criminal gangs. It is important that the government utilises the data available to be able to detect this criminality and keep citizens safe.
	The Act contains measures aimed at removing barriers and simplifying data sharing processes with HMRC, allowing this data to be used for a range of Home Office functions including immigration, law enforcement and national security. Alongside this, measures to allow the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) to share trailer data with the Home Office, HMRC, and operational partners will ensure that the full range of capabilities are utilised when tackling those looking to exploit the UK Border.
