Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many privately-owned e-scooters have been seized or confiscated by the police for illegal use on the road or pavement, by police force.

The Home Office collects and publishes statistics annually on police use of powers (available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-powers-and-procedures-england-and-wales) including fixed penalty notices issued for motoring offences, however information on the numbers of vehicles removed or seized by the police is not collected.

Enforcement of road traffic law is an operational matter for individual police Chief Officers in conjunction with local policing plans.
