Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what consideration has been given to legalising the use of electric scooters on roads for use by adults who also hold a full driving licence.

The Government has committed to pursuing legislative reform for micromobility vehicles when parliamentary time allows. This will create safe, legal routes for people to use new transport technology like e-scooters.

Any regulations, including a potential requirement for users to hold a driving licence, will be consulted on before they come into force so that all interested parties have a chance to shape the new regime.
