Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to ensure that road infrastructure accommodates (a) bicycles and (b) e-scooters.

As announced at the Spending Review, we are allocating £616 million in capital funding over the next four years to help local authorities deliver high-quality infrastructure for both cyclists and pedestrians.

In the case of e-scooters, those that are private owned remain illegal to use on the road.

In our e-scooter rental trials, we have allowed e-scooters to use the same road space as bikes. This means e-scooters are allowed on the road, except motorways, and in cycle lanes and tracks, where possible.
