The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will take steps to grant London boroughs legal powers to regulate (a) the use, (b) parking and (c) fleet management of rental (i) e-bikes and (ii) e-scooters.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

As you will appreciate, the new Government is still in its early stages, and I am carefully considering next steps for micromobility, including rental e-bikes and e-scooters.

The Government remains committed to gathering further evidence to inform future legislation.
