Correct answer
Yes, when it is wide enough and suitable for use.
When a moped travels on a conventional road, it must use the hard shoulder on its right whenever it is suitable and wide enough. If it is not, the moped must use the minimum necessary part of the carriageway. It does not need to be travelling on emergency duty; this rule always applies.
