Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department has approved the use of pavement delivery robots to operate in urban areas.

The Government does not have any involvement, and has not approved, any pavement delivery robot operations in the UK.

The Government recognises that the current legal framework does not provide the certainty businesses need to invest, which is why we have committed to introduce a new Low-speed Zero Emission Vehicle category to regulate micromobility vehicles, including pavement robots, when parliamentary time allows.
