Government recognises the concerns people have about the cost of rail fares, and that is why we have ensured that regulated rail fares can rise by no more than inflation since 2014. Many employers also offer loans for season tickets or salary sacrifice schemes.</p><p> </p> question first answered 30/09/2019 16:19:31 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

	answer	answer answer text <p>Over time someone’s house is likely to increase in value, so it is reasonable to expect those who have received taxpayers’ help towards their mortgage to repay from the equity released when the property is sold. However, the repayment of the loan should not be a barrier to people improving their lives. We have considered this and I am pleased to announce that we will be introducing the option for home-owners to defer repayment of their SMI loan when moving to a new home. This means that claimants who need to move, for example, because of the changing nature of a disability or for better career opportunities, are not prevented from doing so. These new arrangements require changes to regulations which I will bring forward as soon as the Parliamentary timetable allows.</p> question first answered 17/06/2019 09:30:14 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

It is reasonable to ask claimants who receive help towards the costs of this asset to repay that when they are able to.

	answer	answer answer text <p>In the UK, it is illegal to use an electric scooter on public roads and pavements. Electric scooters are treated like any other motor vehicle under the Road Traffic Act. This means they are subject to laws requiring them to conform to technical standards and be used safely. This includes requirements for users to have insurance, driving licences, number plates, and helmets. At present, it is difficult for electric scooters to meet these requirements. They are legal for use on private land with the landowners’ permission.</p><p> </p><p>The Department recognises that people want to take advantage of the opportunities e-scooters can offer. The Future of Mobility: Urban Strategy, published on 19 March 2019 includes a Regulatory Review to address the challenges of ensuring our transport infrastructure and regulation are fit for the future.</p><p> </p><p>The regulatory review will include e-scooters and other micromobility devices. This is a broad programme of work, and we expect to publish an initial consultation in autumn this year.</p> question first answered 19/07/2019 12:31:12 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
