Electric Vehicles: Accidents
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of compensation paid to victims of collisions involving illegal e-bikes and e-scooters on annual insurance premiums.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The Secretary of State has made no such assessment. The setting of premiums is a commercial decision for insurers, and the Government does not intervene or seek to control the market.
