Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of amending the cycle to work scheme guidance to support a greater uptake of electric bikes.
Electric bikes may already be purchased through the Cycle to Work Scheme.
Officials from the Department for Transport, Her Majesty’s Treasury and Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs are currently finalising a review of the current guidance on the Cycle to Work scheme in order to provide greater clarity and flexibility for employers on how the scheme works, and to support greater uptake of electric bikes. The Department is planning to publish the revised guidance shortly.
