Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to review the regulations on the use of e-scooters on roads.

Until changes are made, private e-scooters remain illegal to use on public roads, cycle lanes and pavements.

In the Government’s Advanced Manufacturing Sector Plan, which is part of the Industrial Strategy, the Government has committed to pursuing legislative reform for micromobility vehicles, including e-scooters, when parliamentary time allows.

The Government will consult thoroughly and publicly before any regulations on e-scooters come into force.
