However, it was not that long ago that she and I were debating in the Chamber the provision of space for electric vehicles. I forget what the Bill was, but again my objection to what she was saying was that she was seeking to privilege electric vehicles and their kerbside charging. She wants kerbside parking for micromobility vehicles. While I am happy with an obligation to create space, it cannot be “sufficient” space if that is interpreted, as it must be, as meaning unlimited space to meet demand. Why should we privilege e-scooters and e-bikes over every other form of transport? That was my objection.
