To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the Department holds records on the number of privately owned e-scooters currently in use by the general public that are not covered by appropriate motor vehicle insurance policies; and whether any specific enforcement measures are either in-place, or being considered to ensure compliance with relevant insurance requirements.
Simon Lightwood
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Department for Transport does not hold the information requested.
Enforcement of illegal e-scooter use is a matter for the police and a range of motoring offences and penalties already apply.

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.
