In the context of efforts to replace the car, we are doing a very good job in terms of encouraging bicycle use and increasing public transport provision. A study in Paris showed that just 4% of motorists replaced their car with an e-scooter. The danger level associated with these vehicles is something I hope we can address in this Bill. I have a huge concern about the danger level of e-scooters versus bicycles. We should all support what the Minister is trying to do in the Bill.
