Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 February 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

I turn to Amendment 113 from the noble Baroness, Lady Pidgeon. This framework is designed to help local authorities use shared micromobility to plan integrated transport systems so, while I appreciate the sentiment behind her proposals, I do not believe that this amendment is needed. Parking provision for micromobility vehicles around transport hubs will primarily be in public places managed by the traffic authority. We have already seen the successful integration of micromobility schemes in our e-scooter trials, for example in Station Street, Nottingham, which has micromobility parking provision that allows people to connect to their railway station. We hope to see this replicated as shared micromobility continues to grow.
