Electric Scooter Trials and Traffic Signs (Coronavirus) Regulations and General Directions 2020 - Motion to Take Note (29 Sep 2020)

Lord Blencathra: ...bought scooter. The policy there is wrong, too. I do not know how Paris has got it so wrong with scooters, given that it and Strasbourg—which I also visit regularly—are so civilised about cycling.

Lord Blencathra: ...Minister for Transport and not for my noble friend. In London, the problem is even more severe, for two reasons: an over-preponderance of filthy London buses and unprecedented congestion caused by cycle lanes.
