The wrecks in question \u2013 the SMS Kronprinz Wilhelm, SMS Konig, SMS Markgraf and SMS Karlsruhe \u2013 lie within Scapa Flow, Orkney. They are protected as scheduled monuments under the terms of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979. Designation of scheduled monuments is a devolved matter for the Scottish Government and it has given responsibility for this to Historic Environment Scotland.<\/p>
<\/p>
Many scheduled monuments are owned privately and their ownership can change. This does not change their protected status. The proposed sale of the wrecks by their current owner does not change the fact that they are scheduled monuments. Permission to undertake works to the Scapa Flow wrecks will continue to require the prior written consent of Historic Environment Scotland.<\/p>
<\/p>
Historic Environment Scotland and the Scottish Government is considering changing the designation of the wrecks from scheduled monuments to a Historic Marine Protected Area, a designation which was introduced in Scotland by the Marine (Scotland) Act 2010. A public consultation about this proposal has recently taken place and the results will be published soon. Decisions about designating Historic Marine Protected Areas are taken by Scottish Ministers.<\/p>

Given that electric scooters, and other micromobility devices, are treated like any other motor vehicle under the Road Traffic Act, 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 and as such they are illegal to use on a public road. Therefore, the Department has made no assessment of their effect on public safety. Ministers are actively looking at ways to provide a framework for UK leadership in transport technology and innovation, and safe and effective regulation. The Future of Mobility regulatory review will address the challenges of ensuring our transport infrastructure and regulation are fit for the future. This is a broad programme of work, and we expect to publish an initial consultation in autumn this year.<\/p>

We want to unlock the potential of every corner of the UK. Local transport funding decisions in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are devolved to the Scottish Government, Welsh Assembly Government and Northern Ireland Executive, respectively. For England, we welcome proposals from Local Enterprise Partnerships, Sub-national Transport Bodies, local authorities and others on transport investment. These bodies are best placed to prioritise investments in their local areas, including to support coastal towns. When the Department for Transport considers proposals, investment decisions are made based on a rigorous and fair appraisal process that ensures spending goes to the projects and programmes where it is most needed and delivers greatest value-for-money for both taxpayers and passengers.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government\u2019s Coastal Communities Fund also supports improvements in productivity in the coastal economy through projects promoting investment in innovation, infrastructure or skills provision.<\/p>
