Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he wiil revise his Departments guidance on safer travel guidance for passengers to include motorcycles as an allowed mode of transport during covid-19.

The Department’s guidance issued on 12 May refers to “Private cars and other vehicles” as an alternative to using public transport, and encourages the public to “consider all other forms of transport before using public transport”. This would include private vehicles such as motorcycles and mopeds where the journey to be made is appropriate.
