Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent discussions she has had with police forces in England and Wales on the use of e-scooters on pavements; and what recent (a) estimate she has made of the incidence of e-scooters being used on pavements and (b) assessment she has made of the effect of e-scooter use on pavements on the safety of people with sight loss.

It is illegal to use privately owned e-scooters on the roads and the pavements. How the police enforce road traffic laws is an operational matter for individual Chief Officers who will decide how to deploy available resources, taking into account any specific local problems and demands.
