Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to legalise all e-scooters.

As you will appreciate, the new Government is still in its early stages, and I am carefully considering next steps and potential policy solutions for e-scooters.

Until any changes are brought forward and come into effect, private e-scooters remain illegal to use on public roads, cycle lanes and pavements, and rental e-scooters can only be used in national rental e-scooter trial areas.
