question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to regulate use of e-scooters, including compulsory insurance cover on their use.
tabling member printed	Baroness McIntosh of Pickering
uin	HL1910
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2021 answer text <p>The Department is running trials of rental e-scooters to assess their safety and wider impacts. Some 32 trials are underway and will run across the year, with final trial schemes due to conclude by 31 March 2022. The evidence gathered during the trials will inform whether e-scooters should be legalised in the future and how we can ensure their use is as safe as possible. Until we have that evidence, we do not want to speculate on the future legal status of e-scooters or on specific issues like insurance.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 22/07/2021 16:23:58 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
