Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help tackle the illegal modification of e-bikes and e-scooters.

The police have powers available to them to tackle the illegal use of e-scooters and e-bikes and we expect police to deploy them appropriately.

The Home Office has also established a taskforce, which includes representatives from across Government, Policing and Fire and Rescue Services to help tackle the fire risks linked to lithium-ion batteries, e-bikes and e-scooters.
