Vikki Slade

Liberal Democrat — Mid Dorset and North Poole

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 October 2026

Debate

Online Marketplaces: Safety of Products

Contribution

Countless constituents have written to me about their concerns over the proliferation of high-powered e-bikes and e-scooters and conversion kits, many of which are bought online. I have been liaising with Currys, which is being as proactive as it can in making it clear to people through its point-of-sale material what the law is when people buy them in a shop; online, however, it is a wild west. Given the failures in the police cracking down on these vehicles where they are not permitted, will the Government consider limiting their online sales using the Product Regulation and Metrology Act 2025?
