Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Aphra Brandreth and Simon Lightwood

Thursday 26th June 2025 Commons Chamber

[Simon Lightwood]

I thank the Chair of the Select Committee for that question. I am studying the APPG’s report in detail. Illegal e-bikes are clearly dangerous and have no place on our roads. I would be happy to meet her to discuss it further.

[Aphra Brandreth (Chester South and Eddisbury) (Con)]

My constituent Paul cycles more than 1,000 km a month all across the country, but he tells me that Cheshire’s roads are among the worst. Poor roads are dangerous for all road users, so does the Minister agree that national guidance for pothole repair policy must properly reflect the needs of cyclists alongside motorists? We must urgently improve road conditions for everyone.
