Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what proportion of learner motorcyclists have taken up one-to-one motorcycle skills lessons after completion of the compulsory basic training course in London in the most recent period for which figures are available.

Transport in London is devolved to the Mayor of London and delivered by Transport for London (TfL). I understand TfL has developed best practice training for motorcyclists in London, with more than 3,000 riders in London taking part in the last financial year.

This includes tailored servicing and delivery training to more than 250 courier riders to help them feel better skilled, safe and confident on London’s roads, as well as a free 1-2-1 session with a qualified instructor.
