The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make it her policy to provide more resources to Bedfordshire Police for increased enforcement against illegal usage of e-scooters.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Government will continue to support the police to ensure they have the tools needed to enforce road traffic legislation, including those relating to offences involving e-scooters.

The police are operationally independent and decide how resources are deployed across a range of road policing priorities.
