Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, which stakeholders he and officials in his Department have recently met to discuss the introduction of a consistent national standard for bike-share schemes.

Department for Transport officials have met representatives from most of the major dockless bike-share companies operating in the UK, as well as from some local authorities and boroughs where they are trading. The question of a possible national standard has been raised at several of these meetings. The Department is also inviting various stakeholders to a workshop in January where this matter will be discussed further.
