Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of taking steps to help increase domestic micro-mobility (a) research and (b) manufacturing.
Answered by Andrew Griffith - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)
Micromobility vehicles are zero emission, small, convenient and cheap compared to cars and present an opportunity for British businesses to create new products with global appeal. That is why Innovate UK and the Connected Place Catapult co-founded and created the Micro-Mobility forum, helping to maximise the industrial and economic opportunity of micro mobility for the UK. Innovate UK commissioned research published in April 2021: “Micromobility in the UK: Assessing the innovation opportunity”. In 2022, The High Value Manufacturing Catapult published Micromobility - a UK Roadmap

Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to issuing guidance on the placement and design of (1) electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and (2) micromobility parking provision.
Answered by Lord Davies of Gower - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
All EV drivers should be able to easily find public chargepoints they can use, and accessibility should be embedded in public chargepoint design from the outset. The Government and industry sponsored, Publicly Available Standard (PAS) 1899 provides specifications on the placement, design and installation of accessible public EV chargepoints.
The Government has extended its e-scooter trials until May 2026 to enable us to build on current learning across areas including usage, safety, parking provision and environmental impacts. The Department’s guidance for local authorities and operators taking part in trials sets out that appropriate parking provision should be provided to ensure e-scooters do not become obstructive.
