On Amendment 343, I agree with the many sentiments in the House. We must crack down on e-scooters being used in an irresponsible and anti-social way. There are mechanisms whereby the new transport technology must work for everyone. However, I do not believe that after five years of running e-scooter trials, the Government should tackle that issue by imposing further duties to review the problem. The Department for Transport has already announced that the Government will pursue legislative reform for micromobility vehicles when parliamentary time allows. I cannot give the House an indication of when that will be, but the Department for Transport has indicated that it will do so and publicly consult before any new regulations come into force.
