answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2023 answer text <p>The use of e-scooters in pedestrianised areas and on the pavement is illegal under current legislation, and the Government has no plans to change this. As the Department develops regulations for e-scooters, it is determined to protect vulnerable road users by making users accountable for their actions and improving compliance with the rules. This work is informed by lessons learnt from trials, where measures have been put in place to improve rider training and require that e-scooters have a bell or a horn so that they are audible.</p><p> </p><p>Enforcement is a matter for the police. The Department for Transport has been in regular contact with the National Police Chiefs’ Council, who are developing a national strategy for enforcing the law around e-scooters to encourage a uniform approach to the issue. It will consult before any new arrangements come into force, and all interested parties will have a chance to shape the new regime.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 12/01/2023 12:40:01 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
