To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department plans to publish the results of its e-scooter trials research.
Jesse Norman
Minister of State (Department for Transport)
Government intends to create a Low-speed Zero Emission Vehicle (LZEV) category that is distinct from the cycle and motor vehicle categories. The first beneficiaries of this new system will be e-scooters. No final decisions about e-scooter regulations have been made and the Department will consult publicly before any new arrangements come into force.
A full set of findings from our evaluation of the e-scooter trials will be published in due course.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
